What if disorder becomes a new lens for seeing the world around us? For Nuit Blanche 2026, the Galerie du Crous de Paris hosts an evening dedicated to the Prix Dauphine for Contemporary Art, featuring a talk and musical performances tied to the current exhibition, on Saturday, June 6, 2026. In this 13th edition of the prize, the artists explore the theme of Disorder, imagined as a way to challenge established frameworks, materials, collectives, and spaces.
The idea behind the Prix Dauphine pour l’Art Contemporain? is to foster dialogue between emerging artists and young curators. At the Galerie du Crous, this edition probes the tension between order and what unsettles it. The show asks how certain forms, gestures, or presences can become a response to an environment that is overly controlled. For Nuit Blanche, this reflection extends into the performing arts, with an evening conceived as another entry point into the curatorial project.
Rather than simply rehashing the exhibition, the evening opts to open the topic through words, sound, and live presence. The conference helps illuminate the directions the prize has highlighted, while the musical performances give the theme of disorder a more direct form—something to hear and experience on site. For Nuit Blanche 2026, the Galerie du Crous thus extends the exhibition without freezing it. For this edition, led by Barbara Butch with Marie Gautier, it brings together numerous free projects in Paris and the surrounding metropolis around the links, encounters, and the idea of living together.
A chance to discover a young, up-and-coming artistic and curatorial scene in a venue in the Latin Quarter that consistently makes room for the next generation of creators. Shall we go, friends?
