“Breaking the Codes” : The revolution will be feminist or no will be
Presented by Mayoral, this collective exhibition proposes a dialogue between four female artists: Mari Chordà, Ángela Garcia Codoñer, Isabel Oliver and Eulàlia Grau. Each of them sought to reinvent the spaces of representation of women in Spain in the 1960s and 70s. Pioneers and actors of the Spanish pop movement, they resisted the authoritarian regime of Franco, denouncing the practices and violence of patriarchy, rejecting stereotyped representations and the subordinate roles assigned to women.

“Stay in character” : paintings and emotions of Bai Yiyi
On the occasion of her first exhibition in France, the Chinese artist Bai Yiyi presents abstract paintings where multiple feelings, different identity information and several characters with vaporous contours intertwine. Inside a single image, the artist attempts to capture the diversity and complexity of the crowds, by shaking up the perspectives of the image space. Details of bodies, fragments of costumes and landscapes are aligned on the same plane, forming moving and colorful superpositions.
