“Chaosmos” is an invitation to 12 artists to tell us about the cosmos and invent new ways of inhabiting the Earth. Welcome to Chaosmos, a world that deconstructs, in order to better reconstruct, in time and space, the place in the universe that we attribute to ourselves and the way in which we inhabit the world, the traces that we leave there, the links that we establish there. From this precariously balanced zone emerge the works of twelve contemporary artists, from several countries around the world: South Africa, Belgium, Canada, Spain, France, Guyana, Japan, Democratic Republic of Congo, Zambia. They evoke the relationship between our conception of the cosmos and our attitude towards the preservation of life on Earth.

The latest creation of the Atelier des Lumières takes you on the first steps of naive art in France. Spontaneous, dreamlike, sometimes childish, this new approach to painting is embodied in the works of Henri Rousseau. At the end of the 19th century, this self-taught painter and pioneer of naive art drew his inspiration from observing in detail the vegetation and animals from elsewhere, from the greenhouses and menagerie of the Jardin des Plantes in Paris. Mocked by his contemporaries, but admired by avant-gardists such as Delaunay, Apollinaire, Picasso and Kandinsky, his idealistic painting with bright colors and clumsy perspectives would later allow him to free himself from the academic standards of the time by opening the way to modernity in painting. Henri Rousseau makes you rediscover the Paris of the industrial era, populated by frozen characters who observe us under a sky where zeppelins and hot air balloons float. Without ever having left France, he also weaves the colorful story in the heart of a dense plant kingdom where the eyes of tigers pierce the foliage and the landscapes transport us to imaginary lands. In this parallel universe where the reality of everyday life is invaded by a profusion of dreamlike details, the one who was nicknamed "Customs Officer" because of his job at the Paris grant, invites us to escape by dreaming with our eyes wide open, from France to a jungle with the scent of Eden.

This exhibition offers an exceptional insight into the artistic practice of Austrian architect, artist, designer, theorist and Pritzker Prize winner Hans Hollein (1934–2014). Famously declaring that ‘everything is architecture’, he pioneered an expansion of the very concept of architecture. The exhibition presents a selection of visionary architectural drawings and conceptual works, as well as objects and artefacts, that reimagine spaces, structures, cities and their communicative possibilities. Spanning the 1960s, the works are situated at a decisive period in Hollein’s early career that established him at the forefront of the international avant-garde.

If the innovations Serge Poliakoff brought to modern painting are numerous—a rigorous composition in abstraction, an inseparability of forms, and a melodious harmony in painting—the impact he had on his contemporaries is even deeper. Exhibiting Serge Poliakoff without including this Parisian generation would offer an incomplete perspective on his work. Poliakoff’s universe is inherently Parisian: it was in Paris that he claimed to have been “born a painter,” alongside a generation of artists who pushed the boundaries of abstraction.

This monographic exhibition is dedicated to Austrian architect Hans Hollein (1934-2014), most commonly associated with the postmodernist movement following his participation in the inaugural Venice Architecture Biennale in 1980 and his colonnaded façade proposal for the Strada Novissima project. Bringing together the most emblematic pieces from an œuvre spanning over fifty years, the exhibition offers a fresh perspective on the coherence of his artistic and critical approach, viewed through the lens of his engagement with various movements that shaped the post-avant-garde from the 1960s to the 1980s—from informal art to conceptual art, including radical architecture.
