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.
To mark the 300th anniversary of Giacomo Casanova, the MAH presents a major exhibition on this iconic 18th-century figure. Seducer, adventurer, writer, and traveler, Casanova left his mark on Geneva through his encounters with Voltaire. Rare manuscripts and objects trace the captivating journey of a libertine in Calvin’s city.
Evaux en Fêtes offers a cultural, ecological, and sporting program for all ages in Geneva’s largest urban park. From May to October, over thirty events blend nature, culture, and sports at Parc des Evaux. Attendees can enjoy educational workshops, open-air performances, candlelit concerts, sports challenges, and activities designed for the entire family.
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.
Opening during the Nuit des Bains, Wednesday 17 September, 17:00 – 20:00.
Apocalypses. What Did You See in Hiroshima? is a powerful exhibition curated by Nicolas Crispini, exploring the devastation and legacy of the atomic bombings through testimonies, photographs, films, objects, and soundscapes. From survivor accounts to cultural echoes and traces of nuclear tests, it confronts the enduring threat of nuclear apocalypse and asks whether humanity has truly grasped the magnitude of Hiroshima.
The Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève, in collaboration with the City of Geneva, is hosting an exhibition at Le Commun during the renovation of its premises. Since 1955, the City of Geneva has supported emerging contemporary artists by offering two grants to artists under 35, enabling them to pursue personal research or studies. Ten artists and designers have been chosen to showcase their work, with an opening event that includes the announcement of the grant recipients.
Opening and announcement of the grant recipients on 2 September, from 18:00.
