In Paris, the La Lison gallery is hosting an evening of poetry on March 26, 2026, centered around the exhibition Icône Emoi by Michka Kovalsky. Lit by candlelight and featuring a dynamic spoken word performance by Arthur Ribo, this event is by reservation only and has a limited capacity.

In Paris, some cultural outings are opting for a more intimate setting... The Galerie La Lison invites you to a poetry evening centered around the exhibition Icon of Emotion, showcasing works by Michka Kovalsky and featuring guest of honor Arthur Ribo. Mark your calendar for March 26, 2026. The concept is simple: only a handful of attendees, reservations required, and an immersive experience where visitors explore the artworks by candlelight, accompanied by a live spoken word performance crafted to interact directly with the images.

At Galerie La Lison, the evening unfolds almost in a hushed tone. The works of Michka Kovalsky are revealed by candlelight, in a gentle dimness that transforms the way they are perceived. Details stand out differently, textures feel more tangible, and visitors take their time to observe without the rush of a typical preview event. This more intimate setting lends the evening a warm, personal atmosphere—perfect for a date night or a quiet outing with friends, appealing to those who appreciate contemporary art and more discreet cultural gatherings.

The evening takes on an additional dimension with Arthur Ribo, the guest of honor. His improvised words settle around the artworks, drawing close to the images in a spontaneous, on-the-spot exchange. He's not just reciting prepared texts; he's reacting, passing words around, forging a direct connection between what we see and what we hear. This element of immediacy lends a special atmosphere to the event, especially as it continues with light bites and bubbly refreshments served throughout the evening—an experience that remains true to the spirit of the venue.

With limited seating and mandatory reservations, this poetry evening in Paris offers a rare, almost intimate experience. Amidst the artwork, haunting vocals, and flickering lights, Icône Emoi at La Lison Gallery creates a moment that redefines the visit. Now, the only question is whether you’ll be among the lucky ones who managed to reserve a spot.
