Good Vibrations

Good Vibrations” is an exhibition that delves into the complex relationship between humanity and the ever-changing tides of the ocean. Here we invite you to go beyond the surface of the waves to explore the deeper currents of thought and emotion that underpin surf culture. Through an eclectic mix of mediums and styles, each piece offers a contemplative journey into the liminal space where land meets sea, where the tangible and the intangible converge.

From the silent respect of a lone surfer waiting for the perfect wave to the frenetic colors of California, our artists capture moments that are both serene and dynamic, inviting viewers to reflect on the transient nature of existence and the eternal dance of life. creation and destruction embodied by the ocean.

Coming from Japan, California, Indonesia, France and Spain, “Good Vibrations” brings together artists from around the world and offers an exploration of surfing not only as a sport or a hobby, but as a rich canvas of symbolism and metaphor – a canvas onto which we project our deepest desires, fears and aspirations.”

The framework of the exhibition, centered on the theme of freedom, is based on the metaphor of the movement of waves, from their emergence in the dreamlike space of the swell, their progression in series evoking the different phases of the diffusion of surf culture, until they break onto the shore, symbolizing the proliferation of contemporary references to the world of surfing.

It’s a way of understanding the world, a true universe.

Through a vast 400 m² route, the exhibition guides the visitor through the exploration of this “counter-culture” of surfing, from Japan to California. By relying on contemporary artists coming from Russia, South Africa or the Landes, a whole imagination is sweeping through Paris, addressing environmental themes but also the physical, aesthetic and philosophical positions specific to the surf. Solitude, beauty, nature, youth, sliding... freedom.

The exhibition celebrates the abundance of mediums used by contemporary artists from different international backgrounds: paintings, sculptures, drawings, videos, photographs and installations.
