Located on the edge of the Old Town, just above Parc des Bastions, the Palais de l’Athénée is a historic 19th-century building that houses the Société des Arts. This institution serves as a hub for knowledge and culture offering a diverse annual program. The Palais de l’Athénée’s Salle Crosnier regularly features inaugural solo exhibitions by young local artists, showcasing the work of four to five artists per year.
Artist Lou Cohen presents a body of work that dialogues between still and moving images. Working with dry pastel, oil paint and short films, she stages interactions within the same installation, confronting static representation with motion. Her practice employs irony and darkly comic tones to translate everyday reality and prompt critical reflection. The works explore perception, narrative tension and the theatrical potential of materials, inviting careful viewing and reconsideration of what images can reveal.
Opening: Thursday 4 June, 18:00 (Salle Crosnier)
Meeting with the artist: Thursday 25 June, 18:00 (Salle Crosnier)
Curator Danniel Tostes brings together works by several generations of artists to examine community as a space of connection, resistance and collective creation. The exhibition assembles photography, installation, sculpture and mixed-media projects that forge dialogues between historical and contemporary practices. Through gestures, archival fragments and collaborative processes, the show investigates memory, solidarity and the forms that communal artistic practices take across time.
