19 – 27 September

Capucine Pageron presents a series of miniature ceramic interiors in which a female figure performs everyday gestures. Bedrooms, kitchens and bathrooms freeze familiar actions in intimately scaled scenes that blend matte and glossy textures. Vivid glazes articulate a compact, anachronistic visual language, where domestic habit becomes sculptural tableau. The works foreground material tactility and the quiet choreography of ordinary acts, inviting close attention to form, color and the poetics of domestic space.

Opening: 19 septembre 11:00 – 17:00, in the presence of the artist
Closing: 27 septembre 11:00 – 17:00, in the presence of the artist

17 September – 7 November

An exhibition presenting work by Garry Fabian Miller, Ptolemy Mann and Marit Tingleff, curated by Sarah Griffin. Across photography, weaving and ceramics, the show explores the darkroom, the dye lab and the kiln as sites of material transformation. The artists draw on deep embodied knowledge and long practice, using process, environment and material behaviour to shape outcomes. The works probe attention to texture, colour and time, revealing subtle relations between technique and the natural conditions that inform each practice.

Opening: Thursday 17 September, 18:00

17 September – 13 December

Curators Ghalas Charara and Rita Elhajj present the second part of a two‑part exhibition that shapes a liminal space between listening and gesture. Through acts of defunctionalization, duplication, displacement, fragmentation and sabotage, the participating artists generate potentials for action and reclaim rhythmic breaths, steps and voices. Works from the host collection sit alongside invited pieces to evoke survivance, mourning and resistance, where memory becomes an embrace enacted by bodies searching for—sometimes finding—ancestral gestures through repetition, dance and semantic shifts.

Opening: Thursday 17 September, 18:00

25 September – 11 October

An exhibition titled The Unbearable Lightness investigates themes of transience, memory, and perceptual fragility through a diverse range of visual practices. Works include painting, sculpture, photography and installation that play with materiality, light and absence. The presentation favours subtle textures, layered compositions and spatial interventions to encourage contemplative viewing. Emphasis is placed on process and material experimentation, inviting reflection on how delicate gestures and ephemeral forms shape emotional and historical resonance.

Opening: Friday 25 September, 18:00

18 September – 18 October

Four artists present works that probe resonances between microcosm and macrocosm, from cellular structures to galactic formations. Combining painting, sculpture, immersive installation, photography and sound, the exhibition foregrounds material processes and perceptual scale. Through microscopic imagery, enlarged textures and sonic layers, the artists explore embodiment, cosmological narratives and the contingencies of matter. Interdisciplinary techniques—mixed media, bio-inspired materials and site-responsive lighting—invite reflective engagement with scale, fragility and relational systems.

Opening: Friday 18 September, 17:00

16 September – 10 October

Pierre La Police presents a retrospective of his work, spanning contemporary comics, digital art, installations, video and short film. Renowned for an absurdist sensibility and skewed humour, his practice blends hand-drawn sequences with experimental visual techniques and digital processes. The show traces recurring motifs—playful disruption, narrative fragmentation and visual experimentation—offering a layered survey of an artist who has expanded the language of comic art into installation and moving image.
