30.09.2021 – 29.01.2022
While our contemporary societies bear witness to an unbridled compulsive march, many artists, nourished by a deep desire for change and a return to basics, register all their commitment in a step aside and seem nourished by a more elementary creation, more palpable and sensitive. While questioning the plastic possibilities of contemporary art: the transformation of matter, shaping, modeling, and other experiments used by their creators in a resolutely discordant approach, these artists now reveal to us worlds that jostle, collide for the better. reveal itself to our astonished eyes.

On the garden side, the Encor Studio collective is honoured with an independent project, combining architecture and light. Light waves and sound vibrations disturb the tranquillity of the virgin and reflective surface of an aquatic basin. The evolutionary scenario plays on the distortion of reality to offer, with each new loop, a unique representation.
La Patience du Tapajòs

Alep 1915… Témoignages
05.03. – 16.05.2015
Having left for Aleppo during the winter of 2005-2006 to find traces of the orphanage where his father, Garo, deported to Syria during the Armenian genocide, was taken in, the artist Rajak Ohanian thought he was carrying out an eminently intimate project.

La tendresse des pierres
13.06. – 19.07.2014
The exhibition La tendresse des pierres by Marion Fayolle, illustrator and comic book author, invites us into a story that is both intimate and in the right distance, of her father’s illness. With a deceptively naive style, served by both the design and the tone of the narration, the author constructs a metaphorical and surreal universe.
Passages
17.03. – 18.06.2014
Since the Renaissance, artists have given a central place to the window and the door: from a simple element of decor and architecture, they gradually become a subject in their own right, as shown in this exhibition produced in collaboration with the Paul-Dini museum.
La convergence des atomes
23.01. – 15.03.2014
The exhibition La convergence des atomes is at the heart of the research that drives the artist Julie Legrand in her work: confrontation, exploration of intimacy, tension through games of fragile balances, the fusion of improbable elements, with the same daring and energy that underlies his entire creative process, whether it be sculptures or installations.

La tendresse des pierres
13.06. – 19.07.2014
The exhibition La tendresse des pierres by Marion Fayolle, illustrator and comic book author, invites us into a story that is both intimate and in the right distance, of her father’s illness.

Passages

La convergence des atomes
23.01. – 15.03.2014
The exhibition La convergence des atomes is at the heart of the research that drives the artist Julie Legrand in her work: confrontation, exploration of intimacy, tension through games of fragile balances, the fusion of improbable elements, with the same daring and energy that underlies his entire creative process, whether it be sculptures or installations.

Euphrate
08.09. – 27.11.2012
