The Martin Bodmer Foundation, in collaboration with the Conservatoire and Botanical Garden of Geneva and the Bains des Pâquis, presents “Verts d’eaux – Aquatic Plants from Near and Far.” This summer exhibition is dedicated to the diverse world of aquatic plants found in rivers, lakes, seas, and oceans. Combining botanical wonder, artistic interpretation, and scientific inquiry, the exhibition highlights the relationship between aquatic plants and Geneva’s landscape, as well as their portrayal in both literary and religious texts. Curated by Nicolas Ducimetière and Pierre Boillat, with artistic direction by Yoann Givry, visitors are invited to enjoy an enlightening stroll.
The UNIGE exhibition offers an immersive journey into the heart of volcanoes, blending science with stories and myths. Captivated by their power and majesty, humans have always endeavored to understand and narrate the mysteries of volcanoes. The exhibition delves into how they work, the force of eruptions, eruption forecasting, and the sharing of knowledge. It invites visitors to touch, experiment, and listen to grasp the dual nature of volcanoes, balancing danger with their bountiful offerings.
International artist Iris Leroyer presents OPUS CARBONE, a groundbreaking exhibition that examines the impact of human activity on living organisms. Through charcoal sculptures, paintings made from carbon-based natural materials, and installations, the work engages the public with the current ecological crisis, prompting reflection on environmental issues and our relationship with nature.
Xippas Geneva presents “Echoes and Fields”, a collective exhibition which brings together a selection of works by the gallery artists whose practices explore the porous edges between image and sensation, matter and memory. Through painting, sculpture, installation and fleeting gestures, the exhibition unfolds as a landscape of fragments—organic, intuitive, at times dissonant—where form becomes field and echo. As Geneva settles into its slowest season, the show embraces slowness as a way of seeing, and the group exhibition as a mode of resonance.
Opening on Thursday July 10, from 18:00 to 21:00 on the occasion of the Nuit des Bains.
FURTHER AFIELD
The exhibition at Château de Prangins transports us to the golden age of elite exploration journeys from 1869 to 1914. Through the perspectives of Swiss globetrotters like Alfred Bertrand and Emilio Balli, it traces the advent of early tourist circuits in a seven-stage experience that feels straight out of a Jules Verne novel.
A group exhibition delves into the complex and paradoxical relationship between humans and plants. Acting as indicators of climate change, pharmaceutical resources, or fashion items, plants are laden with diverse cultural meanings. Through documentary, speculative, or experimental works, the artists investigate the status of plants—whether decorative, invasive, or medicinal. The exhibition unravels the myriad representations and values of plants in today’s society, featuring contributions from various artists and institutions like the Conservatory and Botanical Garden of Geneva.
