The strangest plunge into contemporary art... Le Carré de Baudouin invites you to discover the exhibition Megalomelancholia, from April 11 to July 19, 2025. This group show brings together the work of several artists, including Marielle Chabal, Sarah-Anaïs Desbenoit, Larissa Fassler, Lou Fauroux, Camille Juthier, Dorian Rigal Minuit and Eve K. Tremblay. She explores how sensibility influences the construction of space, whether urban, fictional or science-fictional. A journey where the usual landmarks are blurred, opening up a reflection on our relationship with the environment.
Theexhibition offers a dialogue between different artistic approaches: some works take the form of models, others imagine living architectures, while still others explore alternative forms of circulation. All the pieces presented share the same intention: to represent space from a singular vision. " Our ordinary relationships to space and the city are blurred. Relationships of scale are shaken up, even reversed ", emphasizes theexhibition's press release. A way of questioning the place of the individual within a world in perpetual transformation.
Conceived under the direction of Théo Diers, Megalomelancholia marks the independent curator's first institutional exhibition. A graduate of Sciences Po Lille and Paris 8, his aim is to make contemporary art accessible to a broad public by building bridges with pop culture and the social sciences. Through this exhibition, he seeks to " think affects on a societal scale ", drawing on works that express the tension between the real and the possible.
