Nuit Blanche 2026: SPOT13 turns its construction site into a creative playground

At SPOT13, Nuit Blanche 2026 has the feel of an artistic construction site, with live mural painting, dance, video, textile art, music and performances beneath the ring road, on June 6 and 7, 2026.

Under the beltway, SPOT13 becomes a vast testing ground for Nuit Blanche 2026 with EN CHANTIER, a free evening conceived by Entre deux A and SPOT13, on the night of Saturday, June 6 to Sunday, June 7, 2026. From 9 p.m. to 2 a.m., the public is invited to 11-13 rue Jean-Baptiste Berlier, in the 13th arrondissement of Paris, for a wandering program that blends street art, dance, video, textiles, music and performance. In this space already marked by murals and urban cultures, the aim is to show art in the act—its gestures, its materials, its experiments and its surprises.

The evening unfolds as a journey through multiple universes. Artists from the association Expos to day paint a mural live, while Olga Pham and Rachelle Baxter conceive a textile installation made from inner tubes, driven by the rhythm of the Morninglory collective. Further on, Knupel presents a visual performance with a generative video created in real time by an algorithm designed for the occasion. We thus move from one material to another, from wall to screen, from fabric to sound, in an atmosphere of open, collaborative creation.

Body and voice also have a place in this artistic project. The company Yan.GONE presents A Lot of Love and a Lot of Hate, a piece that blends hip-hop dance, contemporary dance, and Burmese traditional dance. A more intimate reading offered by Olivier Hamel completes the circuit, with another way of inhabiting the space. The scenography, entrusted to Frédérique Mansoux and Cindie Le Disez, guides this movement between forms, in a covered space accessible to people with reduced mobility.

With SPOT13, Nuit Blanche 2026 takes on a distinctly urban vibe, blending street art, collaborative creation, and a venue in flux. This year’s event, steered by DJ Barbara Butch, places love and collective connection at the center—two ideas that show up in shared gestures, repurposed materials, and works crafted before the audience’s eyes. People come to watch a space move, to listen to what’s happening, to follow a performance, or to stumble upon an image still in the making. It’s a moment that leaves the clear impression of a night when the city continues to reimagine itself.
