Collective Hysteria and Quantitative Art: If All Your Buddies Jump Out the Window, What Do You Do?
There’s a YouTube video that I like a lot, with just two shots. The first is an overhead shot of an upright empty red bucket with two pieces of wood, left and right, covered in green mesh, leading to the top. We see a…

Windows as Spaces of Density
There is a building in the Bwari Pottery Village in Nigeria where its unglazed windows are in the shape of arrows pointing up. Ever since I saw a picture of it last year, I couldn’t stop obsessing over it, trying to decipher why the common rectangular or square shape has…

Noémie Bablet — Tenue de promesse
Past: November 4 → December 21, 2022
– Tenue de promesse: this title makes me think of an anecdote told by the artist Lily Van Der Stokker in her book How I Went to New York: 1983-1992. While she is known for her bright candy-colored wall paintings, she went to the opening of her own exhibition wearing the wrong pants. A plain orange pair, instead of her…

Jean de Sagazan — Le modèle, le mime et le dupe
Past: September 9 → October 23, 2022
One day many years ago in Hérault, while I was playing alone by a stream, I remember being suddenly scared stiff when I noticed in the dry grass an odd-looking creature that I had nearly crushed between my fingers. Its body looked exactly like a blade of grass but it was its eyes that had frozen me right there. In a s…

Benjamin Swaim — La Chambre des ressemblances
Past: January 14 → February 27, 2022
La peinture de Benjamin Swaim, présentée aux Bains-Douches d’Alençon, sauvegarde le silence et place les intensités en suspens ; les corps qui y échouent l’habitent de leur réserve. L’événement qu’il donne à voir concerne ainsi peu l’action ou sa réalisation, comme figées dans l’absence de récit, mais renvoie invariablement à l’impression de vide qui entoure les figures.

Chloé Quenum — Overseas
Past: May 19 → June 6, 2021
Overseas springs from Chloé Quenum’s research into the pineapple and this originally South American fruit’s movements between continents and over the centuries. Taking as her starting point the pineapple, which has become a fixture in the stalls of Western markets since the 1980s, the artist invites us on a journey to the heart of the thing that creates exoticism and our connections with an “elsewhere.”

Florent Dubois favours festive and unbridled forms in his work. A great formal generosity unfolds in the form of drawings, prints, objects, videos, ceramics, in displays most often exuberant. Between touristic and festive imagery, his exhibitions create closed universes between the garden and the nightclub.

Comme des passerelles, entre un monde et un autre, sur le papier, l’encre peut se transformer en crayon de couleur, et la tache de peinture se sublimer, ne laissant plus, derrière elle, qu’une ombre marquée en négatif par la trace du feu. Ces transmutations là sont subtiles, elles opèrent à l’échelle de l’infime, dans une temporalité qui leur est propre.

Bébé, qui est aussi plutôt lourde, me donne un coup dans la tête et se tourne sur elle-même afin de se tortiller hors de portée de la lune, qui est descendante depuis à peine deux jours et transforme notre matelas en cosmos. Quel genre de néopaïenne fait des rêves récurrents de vols EasyJet en chute libre ?
