With more than 500 visitors, the second edition of RED ART PROJECT confirmed its growing impact and strong public engagement in Geneva. The second edition of RED ART PROJECT will take place again in Geneva in 2027 at 11, rue de l’Hôtel de Ville, 1204 Geneva.

Located in the heart of the Old Town, the nearby Hôtel de Ville stands as the political and historical center of the city. It is the seat of the Government of the Canton of Geneva and home to the historic Alabama Room, where the first Geneva Convention was signed in 1864 — marking the birth of the International Red Cross. For over five centuries, the Hôtel de Ville has been at the center of Geneva’s civic and international life. A masterpiece of 15th-century architecture, it is renowned for its unique monumental ramp.
Hosted by RED ART is an exhibition project dedicated to exploring the power, symbolism, and legacy of the color red in art.
Curated by Francisco Lacerda, RED ART invites the gallery’s artists to reflect on and reinterpret the meaning of red throughout art history. From sacred iconography to political revolution, from passion to danger, red has remained one of the most emotionally and culturally charged colors in visual expression.
Drawing on this rich historical legacy, participating artists present works that engage with red as both material and concept. Some create new works inspired by historical masterpieces; others offer contemporary political, sociological, psychological, religious, or intimate perspectives — examining how red continues to shape artistic discourse today.

The Curator

Francisco is both artist and curator of contemporary art. A genuine passion for art is a driving force for art curators. This passion fuels their commitment to promoting and preserving the cultural and artistic value of the works they curate. In summary, a successful art curator possesses a combination of artistic knowledge, organizational skills, effective communication, and a deep passion for art. These qualities enable Francisco to create exhibitions that not only showcase individual artworks but also convey a larger narrative or theme to the audience. Francisco Lacerda has visited so far more than 100 art museums from many corners of the world.

He has held exhibitions with other artists, around the world, in locations like: Rizon Jet UK, Four Seasons Portugal, Bulgari Hotel & Residences London, Katara Foundation Doha, Portugal Expo Dubai, Centro Cultural de Belém Foundation, Sky Valet Portugal and Hotusa Group/Eurostars Hotels. Francisco has represented artists whom have already displayed their works in various prestigious venues, including auction houses, museums, hotels, art fairs, luxury brands, embassies, and cultural and political organizations.

2026 Catalogue

Bound in a luxurious hard cover, the book conveys both weight and permanence. The tactile quality of the cover — sturdy, refined, and elegantly finished — echoes the strength of the artworks themselves. It feels substantial in the hands, like something meant to be kept, revisited, and passed on.

The book features compelling texts by Clara Pinto-Correia, whose writing brings intellectual depth and poetic sensitivity to the project. Her reflections weave together art, emotion, and cultural meaning, offering readers a layered understanding of the work and its context.

The book also includes evocative photographs of the exhibition space — the architecture, the lighting, the rhythm of the installation, and the presence of viewers encountering the works. These images preserve the energy of the moment when the artworks were on display, transforming the book into a lasting document of the event.
