From April 7 to June 17, 2022, discover on Fluctuart, the new immersive exhibition “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 Dump? When humans set their sights on the waters of the Seine, they
appropriates its resources just as much as he dumps his waste into it. The ecosystem is
disrupted and its wildlife disturbed. Caught unnecessarily, carelessly mixed with waste, or neglected
out of ignorance, the river’s inhabitants try to escape or coexist with humans and their
waste. But this fauna, sometimes feared, is also the subject of fantasy among its predators, through
strange, mysterious, even dangerous creatures. It is therefore up to urban artists to
redefine their image to restore them to their rightful place, both on the surface and beneath.”Statement of intent by Cyrille Gouyette, exhibition curator
A group exhibition inspired by the “Incursions sauvages” exhibition at the Museum of Hunting and Nature
From April 11 to September 10, 2022, at the Museum of Hunting and Nature, “Incursions sauvages” is an exhibition that addresses current issues by examining our coexistence with a disrupted animal world through the lens of contemporary urban art. (…) Beyond its environmental theme, the exhibition also serves as a metaphor for “wild” urban art that takes over the museum—a form of socially engaged art that has become a voice for social change.
“Diving into Troubled Waters: When Man Enters the Seine” – exhibition from April 7, 2022, to June 17, 2022.
