From April 7 to June 17, 2022, discover Fluctuart's new immersive exhibition, "Plongée en eaux troubles, Quand l'homme entre en Seine" (Diving into Troubled Waters: When Man Enters the Seine).
Eleven artists from the urban art world take over Fluctuart and take visitors on an initiatory journey through unique works dedicated to the aquatic fauna of the Seine. An artistic journey punctuated by catfish, eels, perch, pike, and goldfish... but also by their mythological avatars or biological mutations: mermaids, newts, and hybrid monsters.

“Reservoir or dumping ground? When humans set their sights on the waters of the Seine, they
appropriates its resources as much as he dumps his surplus into it. The ecosystem is
disrupted and its fauna disturbed. Caught unnecessarily, carelessly mixed or neglected
out of ignorance, the river's inhabitants try to escape or coexist with humans and their
waste. But this sometimes feared fauna is also fantasized about by its predator, through
strange, mysterious, even dangerous creatures. It is therefore up to urban artists to
redefine their image to give them back their rightful place on the surface and in the depths."Statement of intent by Cyrille Gouyette, exhibition curator
A group exhibition echoing the exhibition "Incursions sauvages" at the Museum of Hunting and Nature
From April 11 to September 10, 2022, at the Museum of Hunting and Nature, "Incursions sauvages" (Wild Incursions) is an exhibition that addresses current events by questioning our coexistence with a disrupted animal world through the prism of contemporary urban creation. (...) Beyond its environmental message, the exhibition also serves as a metaphor for the "wild" urban art that has taken over the museum, a form of socially engaged art that has become a whistleblower.
“Diving into troubled waters, When man enters the Seine” – exhibition from April 7, 2022, to June 17, 2022.
