Guider Tours: VideoDatabase – 2e Carte blanche

Choreographer and dancer Lucy Nightingale presents ‘Le moi, Blanc’, a Carte Blanche project that stages a choreographic lens on the VideoDatabase archive. The presentation brings together performance-based video, archival footage and experimental edits to probe subjectivity, embodiment and the politics of presence. Nightingale’s practice foregrounds movement as research, reconfiguring filmed bodies and temporal rhythms to question how identity and memory are constructed in moving image. The show situates video art within a curatorial conversation about archive and choreography.

In French.

Mauren Brodbeck presents Imperfect Laughter, a series of unique risograph prints that foreground experimentation, sensuality and the beauty of error.
Through layered inks, bleeding, misalignment and photographic traces that appear and dissolve, the works combine printmaking and photographic gestures. Themes of bodily pleasure, spontaneity and the acceptance of accident run through the series. These unretouched pieces celebrate hesitation, overflow and the visible traces of moments when colour, touch and chance make images vibrate.

18 February – 23 December

Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s herbarium, compiled in the 1770s for the printer-bookseller Charles-Joseph Panckoucke, is presented through preserved pressed specimens, its original catalogue and related botanical publications. The historical collection combines scientific observation and aesthetic arrangement, revealing Enlightenment approaches to collecting, classification and the popularisation of plant study. Detailed notes and annotations illuminate Rousseau’s techniques and the materiality of specimens, inviting reflection on how personal curiosity and scholarly networks shaped early modern natural history.

28 January – 15 March

Swiss artist Grégory Sugnaux presents a body of paintings that stage ambiguous, often hybrid figures—part human, part animal, serial androids and distorted, sometimes monstrous bodies. Combining grotesque allusion with ironic self-reflection, he mixes genres and pictorial techniques to render surfaces alternately smooth and vibrating, fracturing legibility.
A composed soundtrack threads through the installation, amplifying the exhibition’s uneasy pulsation. The works negotiate a fragile balance between fascination and self-critique, revealing vulnerability beneath playful, unsettling imagery.

22 January – 9 May

This exhibition pays tribute to Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri, a seminal figure of Australian Aboriginal art and a pioneer of the Western Desert painting movement. Drawing on Dreaming stories and the ancestral landscapes of his Anmatyerre heritage, Possum translated traditional sand and body painting motifs into monumental canvases that intertwine myth, geography and memory. His richly patterned, large-scale works balance Indigenous cosmology with a striking sense of modern abstraction, affirming his lasting influence on global contemporary art.

Opening during the Nuit des Bains, Thursday 22 January, from 18:00.

22 January – 7 March

La Cuisine des Collectionneurs is a convivial, evolving exhibition where contemporary art meets gastronomy. The project invites four collectors to curate walls from their personal collections. It blends scenography, shared collecting, and a collective display, extended into the kitchen through an ephemeral menu inspired by their worlds. Conceived as a living space, the exhibition unfolds with talks, meals, and gatherings over time, celebrating exchange, generosity, and the pleasure of art—on the walls and on the plate.

29 October 2025 – 31 May 2026
