Salve takes as its starting point the art center’s winter garden, built as a threshold linking inside and outside, drawing the public into the tree-lined park, symbolized by a majestic Gingko Biloba planted in 1862.
This circulation, from inside to outside, guides the programming and format of Salve, which begins with an inaugural weekend in the garden and within the art center’s exhibition spaces. The public is invited to make Passages their own, a place made by artists, for the public.
This festive and convivial weekend will be punctuated by highlights, where sculptures, installations and paintings flirt with art in motion, performance art, readings and a concert on the occasion of the Nuit Blanche.
Salve also explores collaborative practices, the indispensable social link that enables us to build community.
The works presented contain performative elements linked to language, the common thread running through the artistic and cultural project, and also reflect the work carried out in residence between 2023 and 2024.
The spaces at 9, rue Jeanne d’Arc are seen as an agora, bringing together the art center, the garden and the Gingko workshops, creating valuable networks for dialogue.
