Guillaume Logé

16/07/2018

The death of Robert Smithson in a plane crash in 1973, while flying over one of his works in progress, helped forge the mythical aura of this American artist who, at age 35, left behind a literary and artistic legacy that would deeply impact the art world.

The surexpression of wander lines

Guillaume Logé

16/07/2018

The study of the wanderings of children with autism carried out by Fernand Deligny’s network over the course of a decade opens up thinking about the determinants of travel, our ability to express our own mobility identity and the invisible at play in our relationship to space and to others.

Javier Caletrío

16/07/2018
