With The Citrus Cabinet, the Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève invites visitors to discover the fascinating world of citrus fruits through an exceptional collection assembled by Vicente Todolí, former director of Tate Modern in London and the Museu de Serralves in Porto.
Born into a family of citrus growers in the Valencia region, Vicente Todolí has transformed the family’s land into a remarkable botanical conservatory. Today, the Todolí Citrus Fundació brings together nearly 500 varieties of rare citrus fruits, revealing an extraordinary diversity of shapes, colours and flavours. His passion for collecting, researching and preserving echoes the work of an exhibition curator.
Conceived as a contemporary cabinet of curiosities, The Citrus Cabinet brings together historical botanical prints, Antoni Miralda’s photographic works ADN-DNA (2020–2023), and The Citrus Project, a collection of editions created by fourteen international artists: Mirosław Bałka, Tacita Dean, Nan Goldin, Paul Graham, Carsten Höller, Roni Horn, Cristina Iglesias, Ragnar Kjartansson, Julie Mehretu, Cildo Meireles, Matt Mullican, Antoni Muntadas, Philippe Parreno and Julião Sarmento.
Bringing together art and botany, science and imagination, the exhibition explores the many ways citrus fruits have been represented over the centuries. It also offers a sensory experience in which the contemplation of artworks extends to the discovery of the scents, textures and flavours of citrus varieties, some of them little known.
At a time when biodiversity is under threat, The Citrus Cabinet celebrates the richness of the plant world and the importance of preserving the diversity of life. An invitation to look, discover and taste in new ways.
