It involves art historians, curators, philosophers, and scientists and addresses a transversal debate around the theme of matter.

For his Cosmos project, the artist travelled around Europe, particularly in the countries of the former USSR, in search of Cosmos hotels. Built between the 1960s and the 1980s, these buildings bear witness to the modern or post-modern style. The artist evacuates all spatial and chronological reference points, recording details of the architecture and nature in the vicinity of the hotels. He works with a single colour, grey, in order to cancel out the seductive effects of the image.

Focus on … Caroline Achaintre
Between crumpled and smooth, soft and hard, supple and rigid, opaque or openwork, the leather forms fashioned by Caroline Achaintre recall shells, wings, totems and other organic shapes. It is the weight that creates the volume, the cut-out that lets the relief emerge. Like accessories that one could take hold of and dress up in, these objects evoke fashion clothes, primitive masks or skins, on a human scale. Playing with right side and left side, black and colour, the remains take on the glow and colours of life under the artist’s fingers.
