AGORA

AGORA is a new exhibition space in the Contemporary Art Building (BAC) dedicated to the presentation of works from public collections in Geneva. The first part of a series of projects to prefigure the future functioning of the BAC after its renovation (scheduled for 2025-2026), the new space brings together, on two levels, works acquired by the Contemporary Art Funds of the City and Canton of Geneva, produced as part of the Biennales de l'Image en Mouvement at the Centre d'Art Contemporain Genève or from the collections of MAMCO. With free access, it offers two different exhibitions per year, produced under the supervision of Lionel Bovier. The first episode featured Ed Atkins, Caroline Bachmann, Sonia Kacem, Vincent Kohler, and Nam June Paik.

The AGORA program aims to make visible the heritage work of the various structures active on the contemporary art scene in Geneva and emphasize that their respective collections are common resources. The venue also offers the public the opportunity to discover artists from the Swiss and international scene who have recently received support from building institutions or funds from Geneva.
