Françoise Deladoëy assembles cut-and-paste collages combining watercolor, graphite and mixed media to probe contemporary upheavals and imagine alternative possibilities.
Using images and fragments sourced from the press, she composes visual landscapes where disparate realities collide and metamorphose. The works fuse the living and the mechanical, beauty and unease, highlighting environmental crisis, technological shifts and resource exhaustion. Collage becomes a transformative method that both records fragmentation and opens an imaginative space where new narratives, spiritual questions and other forms of coexistence might be envisioned.
Opening: 18 October, 18:00
Led by conductor Frédéric Théodoloz, the Brass Band Arquebuse Genève presents a benefit programme juxtaposing the sombre textures of Shostakovich with Mendelssohn’s lyrical clarity, featuring soloist Kevin Buchard, and the pictorial sweep of Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition. The band’s brass sonorities and precise rhythmic drive transform orchestral colours into a vivid soundscape, alternating intimate murmurs and brilliant fanfares. The evening unfolds as a cinematic journey, balancing muscular power with moments of surprising intimacy. Concert in favor of diabète genève.
Directed by Elidan Arzoni, this fiery, hilarious staging of Yasmina Reza’s play follows two couples whose polite attempt to resolve a quarrel between their sons collapses into a savage verbal carnage. Performers Sophie Broustal, Vincent Jacquet, Camille Édith Bouzaglo and Frédéric Landenberg unleash sharp, tightly wound exchanges, while Benoît Delaunay’s scenography and Hervé Broillet’s costumes frame escalating social fractures. Danielle Milovic’s lighting and meticulous stagecraft intensify a darkly comic exploration of civility, hypocrisy and unleashed instincts.

Inspired by cabinets of curiosities and Fluxus, the space invites very young children to transform everyday objects into props for imaginative play. Children manipulate, invent and improvise in an open scenography that promotes experimentation, creativity and an ecological sensibility. The environment encourages sensory discovery, dramatic play and independent exploration in a poetic, living setting.

Events running for an extended period
This interactive memory challenge invites participants to test their memory while exploring practical ways to preserve biodiversity based on Geneva’s municipal strategy. Players match “before-and-after” images that illustrate individual and institutional actions, and each correct pair reveals concise information explaining the measure. The activity examines themes such as habitat restoration, species-friendly practices, urban greening and policy responses, helping participants understand the impact and rationale behind everyday and organisational conservation choices.
Painter Gustave Didelot presents a structured practice around his concept the ‘Monde de peinture’, developed through accumulation and sustained observation. The exhibition comprises canvases that blend figural fragments, architectural motifs, and cultural references—from video games to contemporary art—producing a visual language that oscillates between mirror and distortion. Using layered paint and attentive composition, Didelot sketches a utopian elsewhere: paintings work as windows that invite projection, reveal alternative narratives, and occasionally suggest emergent forms that entangle play and perception.
Opening: 1 October, 18h30
Artist Lou Masdurand presents a recent body of work that interrogates memory and materiality through layered painting and sculptural assemblage. Using oil, collage and found materials, Masdurand builds textured surfaces and precarious forms that record time and erosion. The exhibition examines thresholds between private recollection and shared history, privileging tactility, repetition and subtle ruptures in composition. Works demand sustained attention, inviting viewers to consider processes of making as traces of cultural and personal narrative.
Opening: Thursday 17 September, 18:00
Lou Masduraud in conversation with Julien Fronsacq : 4 November, 19:00
Dance First Think Later brings together choreographers, performers, visual artists and videographers to investigate convergences between dance, performance and moving image. The exhibition combines installations, video works, sculptures, drawings, scores and archival materials alongside durational performances.
Through embodied gestures and staged movement, the programme examines how bodies register history, politics, migration, gender, urban space, ecology and technology. Curated by O. Kaeser, the project foregrounds relational practices that reveal and question the choreographies shaping social and spatial life.
Electron Festival is one of Europe’s leading festivals dedicated to electronic culture, bringing together pioneering artists, musicians, visual creators, researchers, and audiences through an ambitious multidisciplinary programme. Exploring the intersections of electronic music, digital arts, audiovisual performance, technology, and club culture, the festival offers immersive concerts, live performances, exhibitions, workshops, talks, and participatory experiences that celebrate both artistic innovation and experimentation.
Belgian artist Fred Eerdekens presents a focused body of work that examines the interplay of sculpture, language, light and perception. More than twenty pieces employ wall-mounted and suspended forms that use projected light to cast words and phrases in shadow, while freestanding sculptures resolve into legible texts only from precise viewpoints. The show foregrounds materiality and temporality, inviting viewers to reconsider reading as an embodied, spatial act where meaning emerges through shifting perspectives and illumination.
