ABOUT ÉCLATS 521

ÉCLATS 521 stands out for its innovative approach, where each exhibition becomes an immersive experience. Inspired by theater and dance, the gallery explores the friction between gesture and material, movement and light. Here, artists are invited to shake up their practices, in dialogue with performers, musicians, and scenographers. Each work thus becomes a flash, a sensitive brilliance, where the viewer oscillates between witness and protagonist.

Why ÉCLATS 521?

The word ÉCLATS evokes what emerges, what resonates, what shatters certainties. It is the raw light of an idea, the dissonant voice of a material, the sound of a prolonged gesture. At ÉCLATS 521, each visitor enters a space of poetic collision, where art is listened to as much as it is viewed.
