Mitchell Anderson in conversation with Nicolas Bruhlart

Mitchell Anderson (1985) presents a new edition alongside recent works exploring the legacy of postwar rocketry. Drawing on graphite relics from a WWII V-2 rocket — the technological precursor to modern spaceflight — the exhibition features coloring-book pages derived from children’s rocket drawings, displayed alongside large wall drawings tracing launch trajectories and objects at the crossroads of craft and ready-made. Through these works, the rocket emerges as a contemporary global icon, embodying both promise and violence, and reflecting the anxieties, fantasies, and contradictions that shape our visions of the future.

Conversation in English.
As part of Nuit des Bains.

The installation foregrounds a chromatic range from vivid colour to transparency and investigates the sensuality of materials, inviting close attention to texture, surface and the intimate relationships between form and materiality. Curated by Claire FitzGerald.

Ernest Pignon-Ernest, born in 1942 in Nice, is considered one of the pioneers of street art. Through life-sized charcoal drawings pasted directly onto city walls, he creates powerful encounters between his human figures and the urban spaces they inhabit. Deeply engaged with social and political issues, his work reflects historical and contemporary struggles while maintaining a strong poetic and human presence.

Opening during the Nuit de Bains on Thursday 12 March at 18:00.

5 March – 10 April

Swiss artist Jean-Philippe Kalonji presents a sensitive series of portrait drawings that probe identity, memory and human presence. Working mainly with graphite and water-based media, he renders subtle gestures and gazes that bridge inner life and outward expression. The works range from intimate, near-figurative studies to more spare, contemplative surfaces, employing contemporary drawing techniques to question how portraiture reveals emotion and history. The exhibition invites deliberate, close looking at the human figure.
