Opening: Nouvelles Vagues

“Nouvelles Vagues” brings together ten artists from Greece, Turkey, Lebanon, France, Palestine, Iraq, and Iran at the Analix Forever gallery-bookshop. Drawing on Mediterranean origins and the idea of new artistic waves, the exhibition weaves heritage, innovation, and poetic engagement. In the spirit of the Nouvelle Vague, the artists blend the intimate and the social through gestures, bodies, landscapes, and memories, exploring the ephemeral, the search for self, and our connection to the world — with the sea as a shared horizon.

The opening will feature a reading by Marseille-based writer Guillaume Chamahian.

London-based artist Konstantina Krikzoni presents a body of paintings born from an intense solitary studio practice. Her work blurs painting and sculpture: textured, tactile canvases where brushwork and sculptural modelling interweave. Silent yet confrontational female figures occupy compositions in grey and yellow, evoking funerary motifs and the logic of memory and grief. ARMATURA functions as metaphor and method — an internal armature of endurance that shapes emotion into form through material exploration and sustained process.

Performed by Nile Koetting, this live performance arises from Jade Meili Barget’s ‘First impressions’ residency and examines the fragile mechanics of perception and encounter. Using measured gestures, spatial rhythms and attentive listening, Koetting sculpts a contemplative atmosphere where bodily detail and silence carry emotional weight. The piece invites close attention to timing, texture and the poetics of presence, producing intimate tension and quiet revelation.

30 January – 14 March

Adrien Mondot and Claire Bardainne present an interactive exhibition that blends visual and performing arts, placing the body at the heart of image-making. Combining handcrafted objects with digital devices, the duo uses augmented reality and holography to propose a form of digital animism: apparently motionless stones and objects reveal hidden life through poetic scenarios. The series ‘Le Silence des pierres’ pays homage to the agency and intimacy of life lodged in inert matter.
