Carried away by the crowd, sport is culture

Exploring the links between creativity and sport, this exhibition brings together nearly twenty contemporary artists. Using a variety of media (photography, painting, drawing, video, sound documentary and installation), these artists explore sport with fascination, humour and poetry. In this exhibition, the works complement each other, respond to each other or stand in opposition to each other in a relevant and original dialogue.

The place of sport in today's society strikes a chord and leaves no one indifferent. It provides us with an opportunity to experience hours of fraternity, unique friendships and intense passions. It is at times a spectacle, a challenge, a speech. Above all, it is an emotion that very often draws the crowd into a communion, exalted by the beauty of the athletic gesture.

Sport is memory, it is much more than a game.
