Upcoming exhibitions

The exhibition “Une fenêtre contre le temps” (A Window Against Time), conceived by Claire Luna, is part of an economy of the gaze in which the works stand back from the tumult without ever abstracting themselves from it. Here, drawing unfolds as an expanded condition, a diffuse presence that crosses gestures, spaces and temporalities. Between discretion and intensity, the practices brought together privilege open forms, slow attentions, regimes of appearance that reject the spectacular in favor of more subdued zones of exchange.
Extending the experience of the residency at the Drawing Factory, the exhibition invests the Drawing Hotel as an inhabited space – traversed, shared, sometimes displaced. Here, the works redefine usage, blurring the threshold between intimate and public, and inventing ways of being together that are less a matter of affirmation than of co-presence. Between fleeting gestures and lasting installations, Une fenêtre contre le temps opens up a breathable space, where the gaze learns to stand differently.
With : Amélie Barnathan, Tamaris Borrelly, Marguerite Canguilhem, Dana Cojbuc, Antoine Conde, Camille Demirian, Louise Dumas, Camila Eslava, Baptiste Filippi, Clara-Louise Hoffsaes, Thibaut Huchard, Justine Joly, Boryana Petkova, Merlin Rogeat and Adji Titus.

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.
