The Big Slurp Theory suggests that anywhere and anytime in the universe, a bubble of vacuum could appear, expand at the speed of light, and engulf everything in its path. This hypothesis served as the guiding thread for Louis Lanne in his first solo exhibition. Dislocation, dissolution, and fragmentation structure the paintings; it’s the moment when abstraction and figuration blur, when line and color desynchronize, and when drawing and painting are dissociated.

In Macbeth, Act IV, Scene 1, the second witch says, “Open the locks, whoever knocks!” With this incantation that invites the unknown, Théodore Melchior claims the permeability between worlds and urges a leap into fiction. His wooden sculptures, too, enter the stage like shady characters. Polychromatic, with abstract, indulgent, and dancing forms, they arrive accompanied by their cohort of pedestals, forming a strange, museum-like assembly. Théodore Melchior extends the narrative with texts displayed like the voice-overs of some unknown romantic knight, thus endowing his sculptures with a decidedly dramatic and human charge.

As part of the 17th Biennale de Lyon at the Grandes Locos, the artist Gözde İlkin collects the professional memories of employees who have worked on the site of the former SCNF technicenter to create a textile work and a territorial project about work and union mobilisation.

In autumn, MO.CO. Panacée welcomes French artist Laura Garcia-Karras for her first solo exhibition in a public institution. To prepare for this exhibition, MO.CO. Montpellier Contemporain invited her to spend four months in residence, allowing her to create a new body of work and immerse herself in the exhibition spaces.Beyond an initial formal interpretation, it is the affective approach that emerges most prominently in the work of Laura Garcia-Karras, where gesture takes precedence. The artist focuses on a single medium: painting, which she stretches, deconstructs, and sculpts, questioning its materiality.
