Cabane

This art exhibition is dedicated to the concept of cabane, a French word that designates playhouse, treehouse, log cabin, hut, or shelter. The exhibition aims to bring together a series of works by contemporary artists that deal with this object or theme. Among other things, it refers to architecture and its history, to the pastoral and agricultural world, to the ethnographic study of the varieties of living environments, to chosen or forced nomadism, to fictional literature and to childhood. Cabane also refers to our experience of the world and the permanent renegotiation of one’s relationship to it, which existence imposes almost by nature, often keeps the need for a shelter alive: that is, a place or room where it is possible to withdraw temporarily from the world ; a space of one’s own where one can think.
