This autumn, discover the Fondation’s two new exhibitions! Meriem Bennani transforms Lafayette Anticipations with a monumental orchestra of flip-flops evoking the power of collective energies, while Steffani Jemison explores the winds of revolt and new breaths. To make your visit a unique experience, take part in a free guided tour or a family workshop! Also in your diaries: Terre, our ceramics market supporting independent creators, is back for a whole weekend. Also on the programme is a discussion on architecture and cinema with Patricia Mazuy and Patrick Bouchain, hosted by Isabelle Regnier, a writing workshop with architect Milena Charbit, who invites participants to give shape to their ideal environment, and an exceptional concert by the duo Rat Section and Saeira. Don’t forget to stop by pluto, our café-restaurant, to enjoy a ticky miso banana cake or delicate dumplings, seasoned with fermented yoghurt and a dash of chilli. Finally, La Librairie offers a unique selection of socially conscious novels, poetic stories, art books and limited edition artist’s editions for young and old alike. See you soon at the Fondation!
Meriem Bennani
Steffani Jemison
until 8 February 2026
For her solo exhibition Sole crushing, Meriem Bennani stages a monumental orchestra and transforms the Fondation into a vast sound box. Spanning the entire height of the building, the sound installation brings together nearly two hundred flip-flops and tap shoes that play a musical composition by Reda Senhaji (Cheb Runner) at the crossroads of a symphony and an uprising.

In her solo exhibition clear skies / troubled water, Steffani Jemison explores the winds of revolt and the ebb and flow of repression through the prism of natural phenomena (eclipses, wind currents, variations in light and gravity). The artist explores flight as a creative and political gesture: a way of inventing new coordinates, improvising new forms of presence and charting futures that the body can sustain.
