FAMM’s temporary exhibitions programme will begin after the summer. In the meantime, visitors are invited to explore a curated selection from the museum’s permanent collection, spanning key artistic movements from Impressionism to contemporary art. Nearly 100 works from the Levett Collection are on display, all created by female artists from around the world. Among them, Berthe Morisot, Joan Mitchell, Lee Krasner, Alice Neel, Marina Abramović, Frida Kahlo, Tracey Emin, Sarah Lucas.

Bringing together four artists in a dialogue across generations and mediums, the exhibition highlights the legacy of François Morellet (1926–2016, Cholet, FR), a major figure of concrete and minimal art. Throughout his life, he explored geometry, systems, and chance, paving the way for generations of artists and leaving a lasting influence on contemporary creation. His conceptual rigor and inventive freedom resonate directly with the works presented by today’s artists.

Charlotte vander Borght (1988, Brussels, BE) extends this reflection by diverting industrial materials that she subjects to constructive rigor while imbuing them with poetic and symbolic meaning. Alain Biltereyst (1965, Brussels, BE), for his part, draws inspiration from the graphic language of urban and commercial signage, which he translates into abstract compositions with subtle rhythms, oscillating between familiarity and pure abstraction. Finally, Olaf Holzapfel (1969, Görlitz, DE) explores the relationship between nature and culture, working with wood, straw, and architectural structures that he transforms into genuine plastic languages.

This major European exhibition marks Elizabeth Colomba’s institutional debut in France, her country of birth.

Bringing together 31 works — including 15 large-scale oil paintings, 14 preparatory drawings, and 2 watercolors, many of which have never been shown before — the event offers a rich and immersive overview of Colomba’s practice, where themes of beauty, power, identity, and historical memory are explored through a distinctly European lens.

From the baroque splendor of Vermeer and Caravaggio to the orientalist fantasies of Ingres and Constant, and the refined portraits of Sargent to the rococo grace of Vigée Le Brun, Colomba engages in a dialogue with the very canons that once projected wealth, prestige, and power. Her canvases, lush with silks, pearls, gemstones, and opulent interiors, also abound with historical references and symbolism — recalibrated to subvert inherited codes.

The eac. – a contemporary art centre of national interest – in partnership with the Observatoire de l’Espace, the cultural laboratory of CNES, presents the work of eleven contemporary artists who have explored extra-terrestrial art. This manifesto-exhibition aims to lay the foundations for the conceptualisation of extra-terrestrial art in the 21st century.

Taking as its starting point the Space Art experiments conducted in the 1980s, the exhibition seeks to define the framework within which contemporary works can lay claim to extra-terrestrial art. Amid the current effervescence surrounding space exploration and the renewed public interest in the cosmos, contemporary creation is presented with an exceptional opportunity to open a new chapter in the history of art.

The work of New York photographer Kwame Brathwaite is being celebrated at the Centre de la Photographie de Mougins. A pioneering figure behind the Black is Beautiful movement in the 1950s and 60s, he dedicated his career to showcasing Black beauty in all its power and diversity. Drawing on a wide range of influences — from the ideas of Marcus Garvey, an early advocate of Pan-Africanism, to the rhythms of jazz, funk and blues — he captured iconic figures such as Stevie Wonder, Muhammad Ali and Bob Marley. This first European retrospective offers a powerful insight into a career that was committed, brilliant and remarkably prolific.

The Espace de l’Art Concret is pleased to present, for the first time in France, the work of Swiss physicist, teacher and artist Jürg Nänni (1942–2019). It all began in 1991 with the now-famous Black Book, published by Jürg Nänni in collaboration with Hans Knuchel by Lars Müller Publishers. The book generated strong enthusiasm among colour enthusiasts for its formal sobriety and conceptual rigour. Drawing on strict mathematical rules and geometric precision, Nänni developed a body of work rooted in concrete art, which remained largely confidential and was rediscovered only recently, following his estate.

The project Jürg Nänni • Art & Science offers a retrospective view of this singular oeuvre, with an exhibition at the eac., accompanied by parallel presentations in Brugg and Biel, Switzerland.

A singular figure of Mediterranean art, Baya left a lasting mark on the second half of the 20th century with a universe that is both poetic and radiant. Her work unfolds in a profusion of vegetal forms, vivid colors, and exalted female figures, offering a joyful celebration of life and imagination.

This exhibition invites visitors to enter Baya’s enchanting world, populated with birds, music, and figures adorned in sumptuous attire. It offers the opportunity to explore a unique artistic journey, shaped by decisive encounters yet above all driven by a creative freedom that continues to resonate today.

In this new chapter of revisiting the collection, the founder of the eac., Gottfried Honegger, is honoured. Beyond his career as a collector, this exhibition invites visitors to explore the many facets of Gottfried Honegger: from graphic designer to painter, from collector to the creator of the eac.
