An ephemeral encounter outside of time
JUNO is an invitation to travel through time, to probe memory and its fragments in a place destined to disappear. From 5 to 28 June 2025, a former artist's studio at Avenue Tivoli 14 opens one last time before its demolition to host a group exhibition bringing together established and emerging artists, including Latifa Echakhch, Adrien Chevalley, Eliot Möwes and Alice Guittard. Across more than 250 m² of raw space, the exhibition sketches a sensory journey in which time, memory and oblivion intersect, far from institutional frameworks.
Memory on the threshold of oblivion
As contemporary heirs to a memory that exceeds us every day, what do we really know about the history that surrounds us? What lies hidden in our habits, our rituals, our names?
In ancient times, the month of June honoured the goddess Juno, sister and wife of Jupiter, sovereign and protector of the Roman people. What of her today? Her figure has travelled through the ages and empires, reinventing itself through its representations. Depending on her epithets, Juno may be guardian of the home, protector of births and marriage, or a herald of danger. But the memory of her myth is not that of her cult, and the more we try to fix her story, the more we betray it.
Today we have infinite resources for retaining and transmitting information. Yet memory refuses to be contained. Remembrance is at once object, narrative, transmission and sensation. To transcribe memory is to betray it.
The JUNO exhibition uses the month of June as a backdrop to question our relationship with memory and remembrance. It summons the mythological figure of Juno to accompany us through the cycles of life: birth, childhood, the discovery of love, but also disorientation, haziness and forgetting.
Like the summer solstice, the works gathered in this exhibition mark a point of alignment between light and darkness, celebration and erasure — a suspended moment in which to explore what we choose to remember… or to forget.
Archives Sensibles
Archives Sensibles is a cultural association dedicated to creating ephemeral artistic experiences in places undergoing change. Founded by Tamarine Schreiber and Marek M. Chojecki, it takes over forgotten spaces to revive their memory through open, sensitive artistic projects.
With JUNO, their inaugural project, Archives Sensibles aims to build bridges between audiences and artists while honouring the memory of places on the verge of disappearing.
