Out of the Blue: Heidi Bjørgan & Kari Dyrdal

Out of the Blue brings together Norwegian ceramicist Heidi Bjørgan and textile artist Kari Dyrdal in a sustained dialogue between ceramics and woven textiles. Bjørgan reworks familiar jug and vessel archetypes until they appear melted or imploded, using multiple firings and distinctive glazes to expose cracks, shifts and unpredictable reactions. Dyrdal examines memory, pattern and structure through handwoven, hand‑dyed pieces that marry traditional craft with digital processes, yielding tactile and conceptual depth.

Opening during Nuit des Bains, Thursday 12 March, 18:00.

Rue du Vieux-Billard 7,

Mitchell Anderson: Rockets

Art & Exhibits

Centre d'édition contemporaine

Mitchell Anderson presents a new edition and bodies of work examining the legacy of post‑war astronautics. Drawing on graphite relics from a V‑2 rocket, children’s drawings and mural motifs, the exhibition stages colour‑in pages alongside wall drawings and hybrid objects that hover between craft and ready‑made. Mixed‑media pieces employ encaustic, embroidery and hand‑written texts to interrogate the rocket as an icon that condenses both promise and violence, situating technological histories within intimate material registers.

Salvatore Emblema – May 1972

Art & Exhibits

SOMA

May 1972 is an exhibition dedicated to Salvatore Emblema (Naples, 1929–2006), bringing together works produced between the late 1960s and the early 1980s. Across paintings, sculptures and installations, Emblema refines a conceptual language that interrogates materiality, form and temporality. The presentation highlights his experimental use of found materials, assemblage and reductive gestures, situating these works within postwar Italian avant‑garde practices and the artist’s evolving exploration of spatial and epistemic limits.

L’ordre mis en jeu – Gerhard Hotter

Art & Exhibits

La Galerie 38

German artist Gerhard Hotter (born 1954) presents a survey of works that unfolds across five decades, exploring play as a mode of learning and experimentation. Early paintings from the 1980s evoke inner labyrinths populated by chess pieces, playing cards and miniature toys; later works evolve into modular constructions inspired by Bauhaus toys, privileging pure form, volume, colour and combinable structures. Hotter employs Langford sequences as compositional tools, situating his practice within concrete art where order becomes an active, playful principle. Recent pieces expand this enquiry through relief, light and spatial interventions.

Opening during the Nuit des Bains, Thursday 12 March, 18:00.
