Upcoming exhibitions

As part of the Bicentenary of photography, Drawing Lab, a laboratory for experimentation and the dissemination of contemporary drawing, is putting together a group exhibition highlighting the links between photography and drawing.

While Nicéphore Niépce invented photography in 1826, his contemporary Henry Fox Talbot also believed he had discovered, with photography, a “loyal pencil”, capable of capturing and naturally fixing the writing of light and shadow. He also called photograms “photogenic drawings”, sensitive impressions obtained by direct contact, the very beginnings of photography.

As part of Viva Villa!, BABEL.B.O brings together Marie-Sarah Adenis, Cyrielle Gulacsy and Maguelone Vidal to explore the links between language, sound and image. Inspired by the myth of Babel, the exhibition transforms the diversity of languages into a sensitive and immersive material.
At Drawing Lab, visitors are invited to wander through an enigmatic space where signs, voices and forms intersect, sketching out a “Rosetta stone” of the senses to apprehend the world differently.
