Yvan Salomone — 2611

Yvan Salomone presents a series of recent watercolours that transform anonymous buildings and soulless industrial sites into evocative landscapes. Through delicate, velvety tones, subtle colour modulations and watery traces that suggest life, the artist elevates banal subjects and transfigures objective reality. The exhibition’s title, 2611, alludes to Salomone’s practice of assigning eleven‑letter titles composed from the alphabet, producing names that detach the work from literal description and invite poetic reading.

Opening: Thursday 7 May , 16:00

An invitation to an artistic passage, this project transforms a strategic underpass into a painted fresco and links to a shore-side signal installation. The tunnel mural is realised by the Artmur collective (Julien Scalabrino, Tiffany Sibra and Celestin Tanari), while the Signal installation was conceived by Max Bondu with architects Charles Bouscasse and Marion Mouny as part of the Veiller au grain project, self-built in the Bermuda workshops. The works explore movement, thresholds and dialogue with the riverside.

7 May – 20 June

MABE Gallery presents Forza Silenziosa, the second solo exhibition of Sofia Cacciapaglia, whose paintings evoke a quiet, fluid world where forms, bodies, and landscapes gently merge, expressing a soft yet powerful feminine presence rooted in emotion, connection, and subtle energy.

Her work emphasizes transformation, intimacy, and dreamlike atmospheres, where silence carries intensity. Using reclaimed cardboard from her Milan neighborhood, she connects to the ethos of Arte Povera—a movement theorized by Germano Celant and associated with artists like Michelangelo Pistoletto and Jannis Kounellis—by embracing ‘poor’ materials and their histories; however, she diverges through her distinctly figurative and painterly approach, transforming humble surfaces into poetic images that bridge material awareness with narrative, imagination, and contemporary femininity.

Opening: Thursday 7 May, 16:00 – 21:00

12 March – 16 May

Architecture of Memories is a two-person exhibition by German artist Alina Frieske and Swiss artist Tobias Nussbaumer. Frieske reworks fragments of online imagery into digital collages that question image production and contemporary visual culture. Nussbaumer constructs layered virtual and architectural spaces through detailed pencil and ink drawings based on personal archives. Together their works probe how images configure memory, spatial perception and identity, juxtaposing digital fragmentation with meticulous draughtsmanship.

Opening during Nuit des Bains, Thursday 12 March, 18:00.

7 May – 31 July

Works are considered through poetic, historical and philosophical perspectives, emphasizing intimate encounters, compositional virtuosity and material craft. The selection highlights chromatic subtlety, religious and secular subjects, and the enduring influence of Flemish collectors and connoisseurship.

The International Museum of the Red Cross and Red Crescent presents the first European solo exhibition of Guatemalan Maya Kaqchikel artist Angélica Serech (*1982). Pach’un Q’ijul (Temps entrelacés – Deep Time) intertwines ancestral weaving gestures with personal and collective memory, drawing on Serech’s history shaped by Guatemala’s civil war. Using self-built looms and natural materials like corn husks and branches, her works explore resilience, repair, and the deep ties between textile traditions and humanitarian action.
