Chaleur
Humaine

Energy and consciousness

A new collective initiative in the Hauts-de-France region, in Dunkirk: a new art and design triennial in Europe.

With its multi-disciplinary approach, it invites us to reflect on the past, present and future of our relationship with industry through the eyes of artists, engineers, designers, graphic artists and architects.

UPCOMING EVENTS

Self-guided tours of Chaleur humaine are available during opening hours at Frac Grand Large – Hauts-de-France, LAAC and Halle AP2. Mediators are on hand to welcome you!

The works on display reveal, interpret, fantasise as well as reform these spaces.  The utopia of harmonious cohabitation between landscape and human activity, or a relay between industry and nature, […]

Vanities, gratuitousness, sublimation

Gina Pane has deflected rays of sunlight, Lilian Lijn has experimented with light’s kinetic energy, and Lisa Ouakil has turned industrial infrastructures into flamboyant abstract landscapes. Others, like Julie Freeman, […]

Sisters in the system 

While Simone Prouvé spent her whole career experimenting with the physical properties of thread, combining natural, synthetic and metallic materials, Ève Gabriel Chabanon has been growing mycelium, the root-like structures […]
