The artists in this exhibition share a common intention: to reduce form in order to better reveal what unfolds between the works — invisible tensions, physical forces, light, and perception.

Minimalist geometric forms thus create a rich dialogue: floor-based installations respond to stretched surfaces; reflective spheres meet abstract photographs; coloured fabrics echo the lines of the paintings. Together, the works shape a journey marked by pauses, moments of breathing, and silent confrontations.

Lieu : Auditorium Oscar Niemeyer

Dennis Miranda Zamorano unveils a new body of large-format works that unfold like portals—leading viewers on a mythic journey through memory, ritual, and the unconscious. The space becomes both sanctuary and stage, where painting is not mere representation but remnant, rite, and threshold.

Exhibition supported by the Carte Blanche program, Région Sud

Yuyan Wang is a video artist born in China and based in France. Her work explores the transformation of materials drawn from the image industry, which she deconstructs and reassembles through editing. By diverting images from their original contexts and from the ways they circulate—whether found, altered, or fabricated—she converts them into immersive sensory experiences.

Weather sketches an atmospheric landscape from images gleaned on social media. Captured by anonymous individuals across a scattered cartography, these wandering images—meteorological phenomena, everyday gestures, fleeting moments of contemplation—form the drifting fragments of a shared visual horizon. Stripped of their provenance and of the codified uses of dominant narratives, they gradually reveal affective layers tied to sensibility. In an age of information overload and the general acceleration of time, this fractured panorama invites us to relearn how to inhabit the real.

Conceived as a journey through memory — imagined here as a shifting landscape — the exhibition pays tribute to the pioneers of Malian photography and the great African capitals of the 1960s and 1970s. Studio portraits, bustling streets, and vibrant nights engage in dialogue with the contemporary visions of 36 artists. More than 35 artists come together, between past and present, photography and sculpture, to turn the ordinary into poetry and celebrate our shared memory.

Because without it, perhaps we would forget.

Venue: Galerie Richard Rogers

Ziping Wang transforms the space into a rhythm of captured views and visual fragments. Her vibrant, collage-like paintings engage the gallery’s elongated architecture as both frame and lens—offering fleeting compositions that mirror the image-saturated world we move through daily. The space itself becomes part of the experience: at once window, screen, and kaleidoscope.

Ghita Skali, an artist from Casablanca based in Amsterdam. Her multidisciplinary practice includes installations, videos, and interventions. She draws on strange news items, rumours, and historical facts to disrupt institutional power structures. Her work blends humour and critique, resulting in projects that circulate beyond exhibition spaces, through alternative merchandise trade, (il)legal documents, and objects one takes home.

In her practice, Ghita Skali explores the mechanisms behind the production of official narratives, marginalised or censored histories, and the ways in which fiction seeps into fact, and vice versa. During her residency, Ghita Skali wishes to develop a project around the objects that remain after death. These sometimes trivial items become traces, presences, or, on the contrary, things one tries to forget. As if these objects, already inert and silent, became even more so. In her work, Ghita addresses our fear of illness and our relationship to mourning, these “pains” present in different contexts, which we might share. However, class, gender, race, and other markers of inequality shape and alter our relationships to care and to the living. These situations generate different scales of anger, bitterness, and injustice. But is there something shared, something common, in the sorrow of losing loved ones?

Gallifet’s spring exhibition presents a selection of more than one hundred photographs by the French photographer François Halard, including many that will be seen by the public for the first time.

Based between Paris, the south of France and Greece, his work draws on the history and memory of those places – across the globe but so often Mediterranean – that create a common bond, that tell the tale of lives entwined, their past, present and future.

The artist’s impassioned quest for beauty takes us on a journey through the countryside of Greece and Italy, into the studios of some of the last century’s great modernists, to the gardens of Giverny, and inside a house in Arles where unimagined poetry greets us at every turn.
