Programme

Ecoletopie x La Station

Écoletopie is a space for transmission, a total environment to be transformed collectively, and a methodical proposal of practices for the development of fundamental skills. Following its activation at the Centre Pompidou-Metz in 2022 and its deployment in several elementary classes, the Écoletopie project will be installed at La Station in Nice from 1 March to 11 May 2024.

The exhibition will feature modular furniture designed and produced by designers from Smarin, an internationally renowned studio based in Nice, which the public will be able to try out. The installations are also available free of charge to cycle 2 and 3 classes, and are accompanied by a series of practical conversations and workshops for schoolchildren led by Studio Smarin staff.

At La Station, the Studio Smarin staff will be running workshops for schoolchildren (from primary school classes to students), giving them a chance to share their knowledge and experience, and inviting them to come and work together to transform the exhibition space. The project is funded by the DRAC Provence Alpes Côte d'Azur, the 06 département and the City of Nice.

Antoine Boudin, 0 – 2000

The altitude in relation to sea level is the frame of reference for this exhibition and its title, O metre being the altitude at which the Provence cane grows and flourishes and 2000 metres being that of the larch.

Combining the sea and the mountains, the Mediterranean and the Alps through two plants that populate and surround my territory seems to me to be both a fine invitation to travel and an immense field for expression, invoking botany, anthropology, sociology, history, economics, know-how, culture, uses and needs.

By working with materials that are Provençal, local, sustainable and renewable (thanks to good resource management), I'm inviting people to reconsider them, to manage them sustainably, to dust them off and try to show their potential and their quality as one possible solution among others.

Pajama Party

La Station hosts the Pajama Party exhibition, carte blanche for artist and curator Olivier Millagou. Pajama Party, part of Éclairage public au 109, invites us to re-enchant our presence in the world through surfing, the sea, the ocean and its surroundings. The artists gathered here humbly propose a different way of making the world, by creating new imaginary worlds.

With Olivier Millagou (cur.), Talar Agbashian, Jérémy Boulard Le Fur, Jean Jullien, Pierre La Police, Arnaud Maguet, Sophie Varin.
