Stitches: A Haunted House and Other Ghost Stories

Collectif Détente presents works that treat fabric and clothing as spectral carriers of memory. Through textile-based installations, sculptural garments, assemblage and a filmic element, artists including Ryan Gander, Meret Oppenheim and others probe domestic hauntings, hidden inheritance and collective fears. The show stages fragile, unsettling presences that revive interrupted stories and private traces, using material tactility and suspended forms to reveal how ordinary objects and living spaces keep visible and invisible histories in uneasy coexistence.

Taste Contemporary presents Ways of Looking, a solo exhibition by British painter Ben Sadler, bringing together all 24 portraits from his 2024 series You and I, alongside recent works. Through small, quietly compelling paintings of imagined exhibition-goers, Sadler captures fleeting expressions and inner worlds—figures who meet our gaze or drift away, pensive, amused, or absorbed. Subtle and poignant, the works explore the layered experience of exhibitions: the art, the space, the people within it, and the unspoken connections between them.

Opening on Thursday 22 January, from 18:00.

In Atmosphères architecturales, Pascale Badaf explores early 20th-century modern architecture through painting, drawing on references ranging from Frank Lloyd Wright and Mies van der Rohe to cinematic influences. Her oil paintings transform villas, industrial buildings, and aquatic landscapes into quiet, enigmatic settings where light becomes a central narrative force. Devoid of human figures yet charged with subtle signs of presence, these carefully staged architectural scenes invite viewers to inhabit spaces suspended between realism, illusion, and imagination.

Opening on Thursday 15 January, from 18:00.
Also open during the Nuit des Bains on Thursday 22 January, from 18:00.
