Editions Zoé, a Geneva-based publishing house, has launched nearly 400 authors, standing out in the French-speaking literary world. Their archives, held at the Bibliothèque de Genève, chart this journey from artisanal printing in 1975 to prestigious literary awards. This exhibition, in collaboration with RTS Archives and Interrail, invites you to explore this rich history of success and discovery.
Halle Nord is showcasing three new exhibitions: “Pas-châssés” by Yann Stéphane Bisso, “Untitled” by Akiyoshi Deschenaux, and “Marica” by Anouk Chambaz. The opening event provides an opportunity to meet the artists and the new director, Elise Lammer. The displays can be viewed continuously from the Halles de l’Île passage.
For the first time, renowned French artist Françoise Pétrovitch presents her work at Wilde Gallery. Known for her dreamlike yet unsettling imagery, Pétrovitch explores themes of transition, intimacy, and ambiguity through painting, drawing, and sculpture. Her fluid, delicate forms blur the lines between childhood and adulthood, innocence and darkness, inviting viewers into a world both familiar and mysterious.
“Tuning in – The Acoustics of Emotion” is an exhibition that delves into the connections between sound, voice, heritage, and humanitarian action. Utilizing sound archives and collections from the International Committee of the Red Cross, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, and the International Museum of the Red Cross and Red Crescent, the exhibition explores which voices we preserve, their significance, and the role of music in humanitarian efforts. It features soundtracks, historical recordings, posters, photographs, prisoners’ objects, and artworks both historical and contemporary.
MULTIPLES is a group exhibition showcasing the works of renowned artists such as Carl Andre, Francis Baudevin, Daniel Buren, Franz Gertsch, Douglas Gordon, Alex Hanimann, Thomas Huber, Alain Huck, Jasper Johns, Ulrich Meister, Claudio Moser, Markus Raetz, and Lawrence Weiner.
Invited by the MAH, the “la Caixa” Foundation proposes, through the works of eighteen artists from its collection, an exploration of contemporary art through the prism of the past with L’image revenante. Inspired by the world of Marcel Duchamp, this exhibition explores the ways in which artists confront art history and tradition: through homage, quotation, parody or opposition. Works by Mike Kelley, Vanessa Beecroft, Cindy Sherman, Julian Schnabel, Antonio Saura and Sherrie Levine are presented for the first time in Geneva, the historic center of the Reformation and of debates on the power and persistence of images.
The contemporary art collection of the “la Caixa” Foundation, created in the mid-1980s, has become a benchmark in Europe and one of the most important in the world.
Opening Wednesday, December 11, 18:00.
In collaboration with the History and City Festival, the MEG offers a guided tour of its permanent exhibition with a focus on animals. This tour provides a fresh perspective on the pervasive presence of animals in the exhibition: their roles, expressions, and transformations as seen through objects, representations, and the lives of creatures. Led by Isabel Garcia Gomez, MEG’s head of conservation and restoration, the tour delves into the needs of colonial collections and partnerships with relevant communities.
