In the Faubourg Saint-Honoré, contemporary art steps out of the galleries and takes a stroll in the open air. And once again, it stakes a claim right in the street with a free outdoor exhibition that invites dialogue between memory, material, and innovation.
Following the works of Andrea Rogi, the spotlight turns to Cyprus in the Faubourg Saint-Honoré, which will be installed at Place de l’Église Notre-Dame de l’Assomption from April 28 to July 27, 2026. The project is steered by the Faubourg Saint-Honoré Committee and the Embassy of Cyprus, crafted for public space.
At the heart of the route: four works by Cypriot artist Theodoulos Gregoriou, presented as fragments of time laid into the city. Inspired by reinterpreted archaeological remains, they replay collective memory. The sculptures are crafted in 3D-printed white and gray cement. A raw material repurposed here into a language of contemporary art, straddling architecture and digital creation. The whole installation explores the overlapping of eras, a written timeline in successive layers.
The artist speaks of work rooted in "metamorphoses" and the "stratifications of the image of time," where each era leaves a trace that morphs rather than vanishes. He also integrates developments in robotics and 3D printing, applied to the central material: cement.

The event will kick off with a musical inauguration inside the neighboring Polish church: a 25- to 30-minute a cappella performance by a female vocal ensemble. The Amalgamation Choir, with support from the Cyprus Ministry of Culture, will perform traditional Cypriot chants in polyphony and create atmospheric soundscapes.
Between art, architecture, and digital technologies, the free exhibition offers a nuanced reading of transforming urban landscapes, at the crossroads of archaeology and the future.
