Art in the Garden

Free, booking required

An outdoor project presenting works by various contemporary artists sited throughout a public garden. The exhibition stages a dialogue between art and landscape through sculptural and outdoor works that reveal changing relationships of scale, material and season. Using diverse materials and formats, the pieces question how context reshapes meaning, inviting close looking and unexpected encounters along pathways. The show considers the poetic and civic dimensions of placing art in nature, and the stories objects bring into shared outdoor spaces.

In French.

Curated presentation gathers laureates of the International Competition for Artists from Minorities (2022–2025), bringing together around thirty artists such as Zahra Hassan Marwan, Babatunde “Tribe” Akande and Mehdi Rajabian who interrogate dominant narratives and resist erasure. Through painting, photography, sculpture, digital art, installations, performance and music, contributors blend testimony, memory and activism.
Four thematic axes—statelessness; intersectionality; memory in the present; belonging, place and loss—shape a multidisciplinary dialogue that foregrounds minority voices and asks how art can testify to, preserve and reclaim marginalized histories.

Opening: Monday 3 August, 18:00

20 June – 30 August

Artist Sara McLaren offers a sensitive, affective exploration of our relationship to land, place and the trajectories that traverse us. Rooted in a simple question—what binds us to a place?—the project gathers intimate local narratives through encounters and workshops. Stories are translated into earth: participants build layered rammed-earth sculptures, each stratum shaping a testimony. Between personal testimony and collective memory, the installation stages an archaeology of the present, where bodies, words and imaginaries coexist.

Opening: 20 June, 17:00

3 July – 5 September

Gina Proenza explores how language shapes power and human relationships. Working across sculpture, installation, drawing, and video, she uses words, symbols, and bodily gestures to question communication and meaning. Rooted in her Colombian and French heritage and bilingual upbringing, her practice examines the intersections of language, identity, and interaction.

Opening: Thursday 2 July, 18:00 (Nocturne d’été des Bains) 

25 June – 2 August

Winning photographers of the Giga Photo Award 2026 examine what connection means when infrastructures are fragile or unevenly distributed.
Through documentary and reportage photography, the series traces stories of connection under pressure: youth-led digital movements in Kenya, improvised rooftop newsrooms in Sudan, remote classrooms in Ukraine and prison cells in Argentina where phones sustain family ties. The works reveal connectivity as both lifeline and point of tension, questioning who can connect, when, and at what cost.

2 July – 1 August

Our eyes are naturally drawn to light and what shines. Yet what could be more fascinating than shadow? Shadows have enabled many fundamental discoveries: the shape of the Earth, the calculation of its circumference, the identification of electrons, and the understanding of planetary motion. They accompany us and enrich our thinking. Come and explore them to learn more about their role in science.
