Since its opening in 1994, the MAMCO Geneva (Musée d’art moderne et contemporain), has developed an original form of museography Mainly working with art from since the 1960s, MAMCO bases its action on several principles: a conception of the museum as a “global exhibition” which brings together, in the continuity of a visit, temporary exhibitions and renewed presentations of its permanent collections; a variation in the types of spaces and displays, so as to evoke the history of museums (from a collector’s apartment to the “white cube” or the artist’s studio); a “collection of artists’ spaces” (ECART Group, Sarkis, Claude Rutault, and a Cabinet of Concrete poetry); and, finally, a regular attention to the Genevan and Swiss scenes.
Devoted to the art of our era, it places art and artists at its hearth and is addressed at all publics. It offers historical journeys through several exhibitions articulated around a main project, renewed three times a year. Established in a disused factory, purchased by the City of Geneva, the spaces of the MAMCO are spread over 3,500 m2, thus making it currently the largest museum devoted to contemporary art in Switzerland.
The industrial building in which it is situated also contains the Centre d’Art Contemporain as well as other spaces that develop their own exhibition programs. MAMCO handles a collection of over 3,500 works, and develops, thanks to its scholarly activities, a specialized centre of documentation and archives which is accessible on appointment, as well as various educational practices (aimed at both adults and children).

L’exposition Psot Netebras Xul, premier projet de notre saison inaugurale du MAMCO hors-site, ouvrira au public le 5 juin à 18h dans l’espace SOMA au 32 rue de l’Avenir aux Eaux-Vives (Genève). Avec la participation de 20 artistes ou collectif, elle revient sur les scènes artistiques qui se sont succédées à Genève depuis les années 1990 et propose une chronologie des événements qui en ont été les prémices.
L’entrée à l’exposition est gratuite. Les horaires d’ouverture seront les suivants: le jeudi de 14h à 22h; et, du vendredi au dimanche, de 14h à 20h.
Liaisons, le bar éphémère de l’exposition, vous accueillera chaque jeudi: visite commentée (30 minutes) à 19h, rencontres avec les artistes de l’exposition, puis boissons et plats à partager – par Florian Le Bouhec.
