The Forum Meyrin is hosting American artist Rachel Marks for a residency where her studio becomes a dynamic exhibition and interactive space. Together with the audience, she breathes new life into abandoned books and papers. Central to her work is the tree, a symbol that delves into the relationship between humans and their environment.
This temporary exhibition at the International Museum of the Reformation showcases a diverse collection of works by self-taught artists from around the globe, examining themes of death and the afterlife. Curated by Lucienne Peiry, the exhibition features a wide range of pieces, including carved coffins, embroidered dresses, and paintings that provoke existential and metaphysical reflections, fostering a dialogue about the unseen and the notion of otherness.
The Patchwork exhibition brings together six Latin American artists who engage in an aesthetic dialogue rich in textures and forms, blending painting, photography, and sculpture. From Niura Bellavinha’s geometric abstraction to Pietrina Checcacci’s bronze sculptures celebrating femininity, and from Marcela Ferrero’s chromatic explorations to moments captured by Teodelina Detry and Mila Mayer, each work weaves a unique narrative. Mai-Britt Wolthers completes the collection with compositions where patterns and symbols interact, celebrating the diversity and vibrancy of contemporary creation.
Opening during the Nuit des Bains, Thursday 13 March, 18:30.

Through photographs of still lifes inspired by Ikebana, Shelton encourages us to rethink our connection to nature and reconnect with ancient wisdom in the face of environmental urgency.
