This exhibition offers an insight into the association’s activities since it left its Square de l’Aviation studio/gallery. With a greater focus on its members and the development of its studios, the association has evolved into a hybrid form of cooperative that supports, accommodates and pays its members. When the idea of staging an exhibition together first emerged, the first question asked was how to bring together so many different practices and aesthetics. The exchange of practices, knowledge and techniques seems to guide our daily interactions and serves here as the central theme of this exhibition. Divided into several groups of exhibitors, chosen at random, (Sur)Montage is organised as a series of mini-curations, with groups of four or five artists who had to find common ground through this chronological journey through the construction of this space.
(Sur)montage
(Sur)montage is a collective project by the members of the shared workshop and cooperative ‘Les Îles Mardi’. (Sur)montage aims to showcase the association’s development and diversity, from our arrival on Rue d’Arlon and the construction of our space right through to this exhibition in our new exhibition space.

La boîte à outils (nov. 25)
⚒️ As part of a collaboration with @sabamofficial, La Boîte à Outils is reopening for four free workshops on the status of artists. Although often overlooked, financial and practical issues lie at the heart of an artist’s life. Designed by and for artists, these sessions aim to help artists escape precarious circumstances by supporting them in securing their long-term status. ⚙️

La faiblesse du désordre
Young netizens who roam the depths of the GAFAM in pursuit of a digital dream present their work across various media. Does the infinite opulence of the internet overwhelm us, force-feeding us? In modern rituals, we forage through a cybernetic playground, constantly questioning the way we consume visual information. Shaped by the themes of our era, we unconsciously seek to free ourselves from all academic training and to make art freely, using the tools that work best, whilst exploring the unexpected powers and limitations of old and new technologies.

Homo Spectator
Les Îles Mardi and Studio Ursa Major are delighted to welcome you to the opening of the new season’s exhibition, “Homo Spectator”, featuring the artists Hugo Boutry, Ethel Coppieters, Maxime Fauconnier, Cannelle Grosse, Jonas Moenne, Samir Laghouatirashwan, Loup Lejeune, Malou Raulin and Fanny Souade Sow. 💅 "𝚑𝚘𝚖𝚘 𝚜𝚙𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚊𝚝𝚘𝚛 𝚌’𝚎𝚜𝚝 𝚕 ’𝚑𝚘𝚖𝚖𝚎 𝚚𝚞𝚒 𝚕𝚎 𝚙𝚛𝚎𝚖𝚒𝚎𝚛, 𝚍𝚊𝚗𝚜 𝚕 ’𝚘𝚋𝚜𝚌𝚞𝚛𝚒𝚝𝚎 𝚍’𝚞𝚗𝚎 𝚌𝚊𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚗𝚎, 𝚊 𝚒𝚗𝚜𝚌𝚛𝚒𝚝 𝚞𝚗𝚎 𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚌𝚎 𝚑𝚘𝚛𝚜 𝚍𝚎 𝚕 𝚞𝚒.

" These are the opening words of Marie José Mondzain’s eponymous book. Homo Spectator is an invitation to embark on a journey through this tale of the first image, the final step, the footprint, and memory. Works populated by spectres, somewhere between collective accounts and intimate narratives, real and imagined, embodied by the desire to speak, to leave a mark, as one leaves one’s handprint on the walls of a cave, as one shares a story, as one wages a battle against oblivion.

Lippia
Exhibition featuring Carole Mousset, Édouard Pagant, Naïmé Perrette, Manuel Sajn, Robin Touchard, Romain Tallet and Wan Lu Yu. A group exhibition that takes its name from a hardy, perennial plant that grows between two environments. Like this plant, the multidisciplinary works grope their way towards carving out a path from one world to another. They depict a humanity that carves out living spaces for itself, yet where the intrusive and artificial marks of capitalism cling on. Still distilling, here and there, false happiness, the nightmare from which we seek to escape is deep and dense. Forcing a de-sublimation and refusing to succumb to tragic complacency, the works on display sketch out a vital force that takes tortuous paths to ensure it never dies out.
