Until 25 October 2026, Galerie du Jour agnès b. presents Le Chant des villes, a collective exhibition that brings together contrasting artistic writings to explore the complexities of a shared environment: the city. The exhibition is displayed at the Fab, located in the 13th arrondissement of Paris, and includes works by ten artists and a collective in a single room. The space is described as white and neutral, designed to fade into the background so that the narratives of the artists can take center stage. These artists include Aristide Barraud, Nicolas Boulben, Etienne Boissier, Alexandre Dupeyron, Flore Faucheux, Sinae Lee, Claire Nicolet, Mandy Payne, Julie Rochereau, Chloe Sharrock, and the Solar Collective. The exhibition features a range of artistic media, including photography, painting, drawing, and ceramics, aiming to encourage viewers to look beyond the usual and notice the textures, surfaces, shadows, and lights of the cities they inhabit. The works aim to evoke the essence of cities, often with fewer human elements, suggesting a broader narrative about creating a personal connection within a shared space. Alexandre Dupeyron's work is described as one of the first encounters in the exhibition, moving from blue to black and white, evoking a poetic place with unclear boundaries. His compositions use shadow to reveal silhouettes, human or not, lost bodies, anonymous figures, or massive architectures absorbed by the grain of the material. His work is described as a vibrant immersion in a city where night has overtaken day, where eyes search for — and lose — their sense of direction. Chloe Sharrock, a photojournalist and member of MYOP, contributes a diptych reworked with charcoal and pencil, taken in a conflict zone. The images depict black ruins illuminated by white flashes, creating a strange sense of calm in a place of destruction highlighted by the contrast between light and dark. Her works question the repetitive nature of war imagery and our relationship to it, suggesting that constant exposure to such images may have dulled our sensitivity to their violence. Sinae Lee's work, positioned between Paris and Seoul, features postcard-like images and texts that resemble intimate journals, reflecting on her experience as a foreigner in France. Her work includes pigeons and fireworks, attempting to give meaning to a daily life shaped by a sense of otherness. It concludes the journey through multiple writings in a city as diverse as the works themselves.
