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.
Olivier Varenne showcases the first solo exhibition of Benoît Mazzer, a French artist whose work blends abstraction with figuration. Mazzer’s paintings, influenced by nature, memory, and the subconscious, unveil dreamlike inner worlds rooted in Romanticism, German Neo-Expressionism, and Vedantic philosophy. His pieces range from monumental landscapes to dreamlike maps and composite portraits, inviting viewers into uncharted inner realms.
Opening during the Nuit des Bains, Wednesday 17 September, 17:00 – 20:00.
This exhibition pairs two Austrian artists who transform industrial materials into contemporary sculpture through different approaches.
Hans Kupelwieser creates works that blur two and three dimensions, using unconventional materials to simulate non-existent functions while exploring the linguistic possibilities of sculptural form.
Rudolf Polanszky removes industrially produced materials from their original contexts, preserving traces of their previous use to create new fields of meaning in his mural works. Both artists challenge traditional sculptural constraints by liberating materials from predetermined purposes, demonstrating how contemporary art transcends disciplinary boundaries through “functional illusions” that appear purposeful yet open rich territories for contemplating form, process, and artistic meaning.

Axelle Snakkers presents a collection at Galerie Andata/Ritorno, featuring works on aluminum that delve into themes of time, perception, and plant memory. Her oil paintings, characterized by bold colors and recurring circular shapes, interact with light to create shifting landscapes, inviting viewers to contemplate and wander.
Gilles Furtwängler transforms everyday words into visual, musical, and poetic elements that challenge and reinterpret their meanings. The exhibition “Musique douce. Disque rayé. Zut.” delves into the visual and auditory potential of words. Through a variety of installations, wall paintings, canvases, and performative readings, Furtwängler reconfigures and recontextualizes texts, turning them into graphic, musical, and poetic components, cleverly interacting with the surrounding messages.
Henrik Eiben’s creations blend painting and sculpture using materials such as glass, steel, wood, and textiles. His work delves into geometry, color, and materials, blurring the lines between opacity and transparency, and invites a subtle dialogue with the audience.
Convergent Lines at Galerie L’Appartement showcases a dynamic blend of expressive canvases by Mariana Oushiro alongside pieces by Jojo Corväiá, Maarten Vrolijk, and Marius Ritiu. This exhibition delves into the crossroads of art, sculpture, and design, emphasizing the role of materials, processes, and architectural influences. Marius Ritiu’s monumental sculptures, Jojo Corväiá’s meditative ceramics, and Maarten Vrolijk’s delicate lighting fixtures and vases engage in a dialogue with Mariana Oushiro’s gestural and geometric paintings. Together, these works create a choreography of contrasts, balancing heaviness and lightness, permanence and movement, structure and spontaneity.
