  • Exhibition « Land Art, My Love! » at the Louvre-Lens

    📅 From June 5 to August 26, 2026
    📍 Musée du Louvre-Lens, Lens

    This video and photographic exhibition, conceived by choreographer Sarah Nouveau, explores the links between contemporary art and landscape. Through monumental works and immersive installations, “Land Art, Mon Amour!” invites us to rediscover nature as the raw material of artistic creation.

    The Louvre-Lens hosts this summer exhibition in its contemporary art spaces. An immersion into a universe where earth, rocks, plants and natural elements become the mediums of visionary artists.

    A visit that breaks from traditional exhibitions and resonates particularly in the mining basin, a territory transformed by human hands and returned to nature.
