Lacustre vernissage

The exhibition opens on a suspended territory, between surface and depth, where the lake acts less as an image than as a plastic force. Through installations, mural interventions and graphic gestures, five contemporary artists – Jasm One, Gaspard Louane, Drü Egg, Rosalie Evard and Alice Izzo – propose a journey of art pieces traversed by the logic specific to aquatic environments: superimpositions, erasures, shifts, tensions. Each piece becomes a porous space, a fragment of mental landscape, a memory in motion.

This vernissage marks the entrance to this fluid exhibition, where you move around as if following a current: sometimes guided, sometimes bewildered. The opening evening was conceived as an immersion in the presence of the artists, prolonged in the gardens of the Manoir in an atmosphere conducive to encounters, exchanges and shared drifting.

Graffiti workshop

Round table

“Lake Geneva in transformation: between practices and representations”.

Lake Geneva is a landscape with multiple challenges: historical memory, ecological issues, territorial transit and artistic creativity. The aim of this round table is to cross-reference expertise and structure a debate around three key themes: contemporary creation, ecological preservation and tomorrow’s mobility. At this public meeting, specialist speakers will successively present the challenges and opportunities associated with each theme, before engaging in a collective dialogue. The discussion will focus on identifying concrete, shared avenues to nurture cultural practices and territorial policies around the lake.
