LE CHANT DES VILLES \/ SONGS OF THE CITIES<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sept. 4th, 2026 > Oct. 25, 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

OPENING ON THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3rd ; 6-9 p.m.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

The Galerie du Jour agn\u00e8s b. presents Le Chant des villes<\/strong><\/em> (Songs of the Cities), a group exhibition bringing together ten artists and one collective around a shared territory: the city – its rhythms, its materials, its inhabitants – and the many ways to experience and represent it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition celebrates the urban fabric, which, far from being a mere backdrop, is a living space filled with memories, transformations, and projections. We walk through it, get lost in it, and meet within it; it is shaped as much by its architecture as by the gestures and gazes of those who traverse it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By showcasing the work of Aristide Barraud<\/strong>, Nicolas Boulben<\/strong>, Etienne Boissier<\/strong>, Alexandre Dupeyron<\/strong>, Flore Faucheux<\/strong>, Sinae Lee<\/strong>, Claire Nicolet<\/strong>, Mandy Payne<\/strong>, Julie Rochereau<\/strong>, Chlo\u00e9 Sharrock<\/strong>, and the Solar Collective<\/strong>, Le Chant des villes <\/em>reveals a multitude of narratives and interpretations. Paris, Marseille, Seoul, Kharkiv, and London become sensitive landscapes – observed, traversed, and sometimes reinvented by the artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each artist explores a unique way of inhabiting the city, capturing its invisible elements, its density, poetry, contrasts, and even its fractures. Paintings, photographs, drawings, and ceramics create a space where every piece offers a singular reading of the urban environment, evoking the city\u2019s textures, surfaces, interstices, and temporal layers. This reflection naturally echoes agn\u00e8s b.\u2019s intimate relationship with the city. For as long as she can remember, she has photographed it, wandered through it without a set path, attentive to its details and its vibrancy. It is also in the streets that she has discovered many of the artists who have passed through the Galerie du Jour since its founding in 1984. For her, the city is both a source of inspiration and a space for encounters, where art emerges from a wall, a fa\u00e7ade, or a glance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition invites us to slow our pace, to see the landscapes we pass through every day differently, and to listen, beyond the noise, to the multitude of voices that make up the Songs of the Cities<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
