La Loge - 86 Rue de l'Ermitage, 86 1050
he passage of time over matter is central to Michel Blazy’s practice. Since the early nineties, the artist has been working with living entities, both artificial and natural, which are all equally subject to the supremacy of time and the multitude of triggers that impact the environment.
In Multiverse, La Loge reveals its potential as an animated place where materials can grow, germinate, transform and deteriorate. Each room of the building provides specific spatial, lighting and climatological conditions, accommodating different types of life to coexist. The exhibition comprises key elements from Blazy’s studio practice including film, sculpture and installation, often composed of impermanent, transient materials like plants, molds, nutritional ingredients and everyday objects.
Throughout the course of the exhibition, the works develop independently from each other and beyond the control of the artist. In this untended multiverse, where things can freely overflow, the eccentric movement of matter lurks as a constant possibility.

La Loge
86 Rue de l'Ermitage, 86 1050
Située dans une ancienne loge maçonnique de style moderniste, La Loge est un centre d'art et de pratiques contemporaines. La Loge puise son identité à la fois dans la spécificité du lieu de patrimoine qu'elle occupe ainsi que dans l'engagement et les objectifs de ses initiateurs. La programmation s'intéresse à des notions d'espace, d'habitat et d'usage. La Loge met en exergue l'expérimentation, la recherche et la présentation. Telle une plateforme d'échange et de discussion, le programme de La Loge se compose de rencontres, de conférences et d'expositions.
