Afterimages are the subtle traces that things leave in and around us, long after they've passed. They are discreet persistence - like a perfume in the air, a warmth on an empty chair, a sensation in the pit of our stomach - without us knowing where they come from. They inhabit places, bodies and objects, carried by the memory of gestures and presences. These presences of suspended, living memories continue to dialogue with the present, without making a sound.
Some memories never fade.
They inhabit gestures, silences and materials. They outlive bodies, places and stories. They persist in the cracks, in the margins, in what still trembles beneath the surface.
Between absence and appearance, between intimacy and artistic commitment, Rémanences offers a space where memory becomes material for creation, a space where the past never ceases to dialogue with the present.
An exhibition like an echo chamber: that of traces that refuse to disappear.
Some traces illuminate more than they weigh.
They stand the test of time. Sensitive, unalterable memories, powerful echoes, fragments reborn in new ways.
They outlive places and stories.
They persist in the cracks, the margins, in what still vibrates beneath the surface.
The artists gathered here give form to these fertile persistence: reinvented memories, transformed materials, transmitted or dreamed stories, so many subterranean beats.
Memories that are not always told, but which are deposited, transformed and reactivated.
Their works touch on what connects us: what was, what's to come.
Rémanences thus becomes a space of openness, where memory is not fixed, but living, moving.

Heritage Days 2025 at Folie Huve
The "Folie Huvé", listed in 1945, lies hidden in the middle of a district undergoing major transformation. Jean-Jacques Huvé, King Louis XVI's architect, had it built in 1785 for his own use, and decorated it with a bas-relief frieze depicting the "Triumph of the Arts". La Folie Huvé is built on the principles of trompe-l'œil, a play of light and relief, and a blend of different geometries typical of the Palladian style.
Journées du Patrimoine 2025 at the Orangerie du domaine national de Meudon
"My dream would be to have to fill the gigantic halls of a palace with sculptures that would never fill up." Roseline Granet
The Orangerie de Meudon hosts an exceptional retrospective of the work of artist Roseline Granet. The sculptor and pastelist presents sixty years of prolific creation from her Meudon studio.
At the age of eighteen, Roseline Granet studied drawing and painting at the Art Students League in New York. On her return to Paris, she turned to sculpture, attending the Zadkine studio at La Grande Chaumière. There, she met sculptor Jacques Delahaye, with whom she founded the Fonderie Clémenti in Meudon in 1960. All her work thus developed alongside the foundry, in close relationship with it. It's a place from which the artist has drawn inspiration, and which still houses her studio today.
From small-scale pieces to large-scale creations, Roseline Granet gives shape to her whimsical, turbulent characters, suspended in time. Plaster, bronze, clay and wax serve as materials for her sculptures in motion. Whether in couples, groups or alone, the figures seem caught in a desire to take flight, suddenly frozen. Arms thrown forward, bodies off balance, mouths open to a silent cry, a theater opens up to our memories, where gentleness rubs shoulders with anguish and madness. Through her forms, the artist communicates the pleasure of making, creating and vitality.
Alongside her sculptures, Roseline Granet exhibits the pastels she has been making in Normandy for over twenty years. A series of cliffs in which she transcribes nature, its colors, shapes and light.
Characters and landscapes mingle at the Orangerie de Meudon, which for the duration of this exhibition becomes an extension of Roseline Granet's studio. An invitation to travel through time and the work of this Meudon artist.
