With Espace 315, the artist once more places ideas about the stage, decorum and traces at the heart of her approach. The exhibition, consisting of several sculptural components, has a strongly unified feel. Latifa Echakhch transforms the venue into a dense, dreamlike place halfway between earth and sky, frozen in a twilight world.

Nicolas Tourte’s work explores man’s place in the universe with a light-hearted and derisive touch. It principally deals with cycles, repetition and the notion of the virtual. The artist ‘likes to point out, to reveal detail which was previously passed over, to confer it with a new status’, to give it a new importance.

By referring to the Lumière brothers, the Canadian artist places optical exploration at the heart of the artistic experience. A new temporal space is created, where both eye and memory play their part, and where time blends with moving images and perception’s internal duration.

According to the words of Hans Kotter, the work which results from this technique, ‘paintings with light’, lead him to define himself as a ‘painter of light’. Fluorescent colours, structures and infinite forms emerge from luminous boxes and completely inundate the spaces.

David Altmejd works in direct contact with psychic flux. In his ‘definitive dreamer’s’ world, action and consciousness merge: he dominates the grotesque and the abject, combines aesthetics and ’glamour’ and uses his sculptures to explore the worlds of dream and nightmare in a mingled atmosphere of fascination and terror.

Antoine Boute, a Belgian writer and performer, presents a performance inspired by his latest book ‘Les morts rigolos’ (Funny deaths). In the book he notably develops the idea of a revolution in burials, based on the creation of an experimental undertaker and the creation of an end of the world workshop.

A patron of the world of arts and letters, Charles Nodier (1780–1844) was one of Romanticism’s leading figures. This essayist and novelist regenerated the art and literature of the 1820–1830s at his Salon de la Bibliothèque de l’Arsenal, from 1824 on the meeting point for the young guard of painters and writers.

Elisabeth S. Clark’s work is often the result of simple gestures, slight appropriations and small actions. Like what punctuation is to words, these ‘small marks’ produce subtle shifts of emphasis, which become acts of translation in themselves. They throw light on the materiality of the invisible. They implore the imagination.

Ismail Bahri’s presence is evident. His work is the expression of an exploration into the primordial state of things and triggers, in the immediacy of what he portrays and in the simplicity of the relationship with the elements which he imbues, the desire to speak of what has resulted — an uncomplicated beauty.

How does one understand this eruption of passion in daily life, how does one allow for the return of a communal ideal? Michel Maffesoli receives Fabian Sanabria, a professor at Bogota university, Patrick Tacussel, a professor at Montpellier and Pascal Bories, a journalist.

By developing doubles of herself, Eszter Salamon both rethinks the medium and the material, the unique body and the speech that serves to circumscribe it. For four weeks and for six hours every day, the Jeu de Paume will resound to the voice and echoes of this diffracted, amplified life, identity within identity.

Alphonse Donatien de Sade completely transformed the history of both literature and the arts, first as an underground writer, and later by becoming a veritable legend in his lifetime. The Divin Marquis’s work is a radical questioning of issues of limits, proportion, excess, notions of beauty, ugliness, the sublime and the body image.
