Cat People takes an ironic look at the complex relationship between humans and cats, drawing on themes from Jacques Derrida’s The Animal That Therefore I Am. Referencing Jacques Tourneur’s 1942 film, the exhibition presents works that explore cats as reassuring companions but also as unsettling mirrors of societal anxieties. Through diverse approaches—from anthropomorphism to kitsch—it reflects on what the feline figure reveals about us.⁠

This first monography dedicated to the artist Xie Lei provides an overview that seeks to shed light on the mystery surrounding his painting. Through its essays and interviews, an extensive portfolio, reference works and a plethora of bibliographic and iconographic content, it enables us to explore the origins of Xie Lei’s work, its evolution, its prominent features and its ambiguity. This publication yields inferences–perhaps–and more surely, allows us to take measure of the troubled situations into which the artist’s painting projects us. Discreetly related to literary and cinematic memories, or plucked from the deep crucible of his feelings, these images explore desires and obsessions, as secret as they are universal. ⁠

The first floor of Françoise Pétrovitch's exhibition at MO.CO. hosts a sizeable series of wash drawings that conjure up strange landscapes occasionally reminiscent of Romantic or Symbolist aesthetics, and a gallery of tormented characters in the throes of aimless wandering. It also features largescale paintings, one of which, of monumental proportions, was⁠
produced for the exhibition. It is a testament to the luminous dimension which imbues Françoise Pétrovitch’s work, including when her intent is to capture the notion of the in-between.⁠

“What scene is this? These characters are dreaming up a world that is far less innocent than the nudes in full light by the bent tree, or those that we saw in the retrospective L’Arbre et la Machine at the Musée de l’Abbaye in Saint-Claude (8 February – 28 September 2025). We can no longer believe in their complete casualness. Time no longer stands still. The geometry has become complex, orchestrating a great battle à la Uc***lo where everywhere undergrowth branches clash and crack. As for the bodies, they use up the as yet empty space. Something has just happened: something is slipping, the intertwined group. Imminence is becoming paint. And Laurent Proux puts us, the viewers, in front of this undecidable world fragment, fascinating in its details of multiple crevices, creating for us, near the lovers, a lit-up path. It is up to us to see the escape. [...]” — Jérôme Duwa⁠

⁠
The Musée de l’Abbaye in Saint-Claude is hosting a major solo exhibition of Laurent Proux, following his residency in the Jura region. Known for his international residencies and exhibitions in Paris, Berlin, New York, and beyond, Proux presents around forty works, half of them new, inspired by local industries and the region’s social heritage. His paintings often focus on the human body at work, highlighting the rarely represented world of labor in contemporary art. Alongside these depictions of workers, the exhibition also features imaginative scenes of bodies in natural landscapes—figures that merge, transform, or dissolve into organic forms. ⁠

“Often, with Laurent Proux’s painted bodies, we are not quite sure who owns which limb; there is an overall delightful confusion or a sort of organic pooling. The bodies made available come together and hybridise. Plugging in on each other, connecting their emotions via a caress or an embrace, they escape conventional desire-induced projections. Something from the Mannerist legacy runs through these pictures, namely in these particularly extravagant melees of bodies reminiscent, for example, of Bronzino’s in An Allegory with Venus and Cupid (c. 1545, National Gallery, London).
