Events running for an extended period
Measures of Infinity brings together works by Susanna Bauer, Frankie Gao and Carol Prusa in a contemplative exhibition of drawings, installations and meticulously crafted objects. Bauer transforms fragile leaves into intricate, almost meditative compositions; Gao offers pared-back drawings and open installations that evoke cosmic structures; Prusa constructs pieces informed by scientific models and unseen phenomena. Across scale and material, the show explores perception, precision and the tension between the intimate and the vast, inviting close looking and slow attention.
Presented by Allianz Cinéma, this summer’s open-air program stages cinematic evenings along the water. The selection favors intimate, atmospheric films—framed in long takes and textured nightlight—that unfold against the hush of waves and skyline. A gentle curation blends contemporary and classic titles, where communal viewing meets suspended terraces, a pop-up restaurant and relaxed lounges. The emphasis is on mood: tactile frames, warm night palettes and the social rhythms of shared attention, inviting contemplative and convivial cinema.
Senegalese artist Adji Diouf presents a solo exhibition of paintings that move between figuration and abstraction. Colour structures the compositions, with warm, luminous palettes where the gaze becomes an anchor in abstract fields. Recurrent cultural motifs emerge across canvases, informing a poetic and visual vocabulary. The show highlights the artist’s sustained practice and pictorial exploration of memory, identity and transmission through layered surfaces and rhythmic forms.
Join the community for an open‑air summer programme of free cultural and botanical activities in a beautiful alpine garden setting. Across the season, families and neighbours can take part in exhibitions, botanical and arts workshops for all ages, dance and yoga sessions, story readings and a mobile library. Activities invite hands-on discovery, shared learning and creative exchange — welcoming everyone to spend time together, explore nature and connect with neighbours.
This workshop explores the traditional process of assembling a herbarium specimen, inspired by Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s collections. Participants learn scientific techniques for pressing and mounting dried plants on old paper, practice botanical labelling and nomenclature, and select specimens to create a personal herbarium sheet. The session examines preservation methods, identification principles and the historical context of Rousseau’s approach, combining practical skills with scientific insight to produce a lasting botanical object.
