" This exhibition means an enourmous amount because it is largest exhibition I've ever had, 11 rooms in the Fondation Louis Vuitton . Some of the very last paintings I'm working on will not be included in it, and I think it's going to be very good"
David Hockney
In the Spring of 2025, the Fondation Louis Vuitton is inviting David Hockney, one of the most influential artists of the 20th and 21st centuries, to take over the entire building for an exhibition that will be exceptional in its scale and its originality.

It spreads across several levels, offering a journey through the history of art and its upheavals.

Like Balzac, Vallotton’s art is a precisely observed and trenchantly observed portrayal of society.The exhibition can be seen at two locations of the Kunst Museum Winterthur. The main part of Illusions perdues with paintings and drawings is on display at Reinhart am Stadtgarten, whereas the wood prints and flower still lifes are on show at Villa Flora.

MUSEUM JENISCH, Vevey, Switzerland,
"UNE CONVERSATION SANS MOTS" COLLECTION
THIERRY BARBIER- MULLER,
June 27-Octobre 26
Curators; Nathalie Chaix et Margaux Farron, Zoe Barbier- Muller, Charlotte Savolainen-Mailler
"The great French playwright decreed that collectors could be divided into two categories. There are window collectors who need to show off their objects, and wardrobe collectors who hide theirs. I certainly belong to the second category, not out of egoism but because to me the act of collecting is something intimate, something that requires a certain calm, a certain silence in order to exist."
Thierry Barbier-Mueller
MUSEE D'ART ET D'HISTOIRE Geneva, Switzerland, "LA GENEVOISE"
Until June 22
Curator; Open Invitation to Carol Bove
The Genevean- born New York Artist Carol Bove explores the Museum's collection and traces 15000-year timeline of Genevan history, highlighting the evolution of the use of objects and questioning the notion of museum spaces. By playing with formal conventions she encourages viewers to rethink not only physical presentation of art object but also one's interaction with it. Visitors are invited to touch and gently handle these "shadows". Carol Bove also included several replicas of the museum's original benches througout the exhibition. Unique sensory museum experience!

Ghez also purchased many paintings by women, including Nathalie Kraemer, Tamara de Lempicka and Suzanne Valadon, long before their work began to be studied and finally received the recognition it deserved.

MUSEE CANTONAL DES Beaux-Arts Lausanne, Switzerland,
"WET-ROOMS" SOPHIE THUN,
Until August 10
Currator; Pierre-Henri Foulon
Wet Rooms, refers to the darkroom in which the artist develops her photographs. She works exclusively with analogue photography, pushing the limits of its technical possibilities by creating 1:1 prints. An intimate space, marked by the presence of chemical baths essential to the unveiling of the image, it is also a space of solitude and silence in which the artist reconstructs her vision of the world.
When working on her large-format photos, she uses magnets to hold the paper aganist the metal wall in the dark-room. This surface frequently appears in her images.

BOURSE DE COMMERCE ,
Pinault Collection, Paris, France,
"CORPS & AMES" (Body and Soul),
Until August 25
In this exhibition, Body & Soul, the first paradox or advent is to make visible what we have tried to make invisible; the exhibition gives pride of place to African and Afro-American artists who have long been rejected by the dominant presentation, civil rights fighters, jazzed up bodies liberating themselves from the underground.
what does it mean to inhabit a body in a world in tension?
Arthur Jafa's "Love is the Message, the Message is Death", a very moving film with some scenes that are truly shocking to see the wickedness of human beings.Jafa traces the history of African Americans in the twentieth century through a collage of images, both older and more recent, depicting a collective body that exists beyond space and time.
