Isn’t it about time to stop the doomsaying? To turn towards a creative—rather than a castrating—ecology? To shake free from fear-mongering and to imagine new possibilities? Jubilant invention and dreams are in urgent demand.

A proposition that is somewhere between popular and scientific knowledge, between collective practice and works of art. This is another way of thinking about exhibition, because we must urgently multiply and reverse the points of view in order to see beyond the horizon! The tidings of the Meteor are confusing, unpredictable, and chaotic. The featured works are, by extension, also open-ended, mobile, and plural. Reactivations, interpretations, and reinventions, these works break with the rule of unity and veracity. This is an opportunity to welcome all amateurs of the clouds.

Let’s infuse our imaginations with the sensations of the wind, the snow, and the aridity of the desert!


Artists: A. Aycock, A. Barrios, I. Bonillas, L. Camnitzer, J. Chicago, A. Delrez, L. Echakhch, M. Vanden Eynde, P. de Fenoyl, Y. Friedman, D. Ghesquière, L. Ghirri, J. Grossmann, J. Hilliard, J. Jonas, Z. Kosek, M. Laet, B. & M. Leisgen, J. Luzoir, R. L. Misrach, F. Nakaya, K. Paterson, G. Pettena, J. Pfahl, R. Signer, R. Zaugg

With assistance of inhabitants associations and all cloud-lovers!
