Gina Proenza: Patron / Partner

3 July—5 September 2026

We are delighted to invite you to the opening of the solo exhibition, “Patron / Partner”, by Gina Proenza in our Geneva space. Join us for the opening on Thursday, July 2, from 6 pm. The exhibition will be accompanied by a text by Ana Mendoza Aldana.

Gina Proenza’s work engages with the use of words to question the relations of power tied to language. Gargoyles sticking out motorized tongues, lightboxes transformed into musical scores, or rocking benches that encourage the audience to interact with one another: language—whether spoken, written, allegorical, or anatomical—is at the core of her works. Woven from her Colombian and French heritage and her two mother tongues, her practice unfolds through sculptures, installations, drawings and videos.

Gina Proenza (*1994 in Bogotá, Colombia) lives and works in Lausanne. She lived in Colombia, France and Belgium before settling in Switzerland in 2013. Gina Proenza realised solo exhibitions at Musée Cantonale des Beaux-arts de Lausanne (2024), Musée des Beaux-arts de La Chaux-de-fonds (2023), KunstHalle St-Gallen (2023), Centre d’art Neuchâtel (2020), Centre Culturel Suisse (Paris, 2018) and showed her work in Shanghai (ChenShan), Zurich (Last Tango) or Berlin (PS120).
