The Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève opens late on the occasion of the Nuit des Bains!

A commented tour with Andrea Bellini, director of the Centre and curator of Chrysalis will take place at 6pm, and a performance by Agnes Questionmark will take place during the evening (booking is mandatory for all these events).

Chrysalis is a group show that pays homage to the world’s never-ending metamorphosis and all its organic (and inorganic) inhabitants. The exhibition explores the concept of mutability from a wide range of different formal, existential, and political angles. Each thing, each image, and each form in this exhibition is in flux—shifting from one state to another, becoming something else, cycling through multiple identities.

Chrysalis: The Butterfly Dream is a project curated by Andrea Bellini.
Curatorial advisors:  Sarah Lombardi and Sara De Chiara.
In collaboration with Collection de l’Art Brut in Lausanne.
