Contraste et indifférence (Part 2)

Feb 12–May 23, 2026
Curated: Catherine Bédard
Canadian Cultural Centre, Paris

Group exhibition with artists: Cécile Hartmann, Isabelle Hayeur, Capucine Vever, and Larissa Fassler

A two-part exhibition, co-produced by the Canadian Cultural Centre and the Grantham Foundation for Art and the Environment.

The artists brought together in the exhibition Contrast and Indifference engage with global issues by entering foreign contexts with care and attentiveness, bearing witness to what unfolds there. Being present in place is central to their approach, as is a form of solitude that fosters observation and encounter. Guided by critical awareness and sensitivity to others, they reveal some of the staggering disparities affecting humanity across the planet. By avoiding the spectacular and consistently linking surface phenomena with deeper underlying realities, they articulate the tensions shaping the contemporary world.

The first part of this exhibition was presented at the Grantham Foundation in 2025.
