The Confluences exhibition brings together the collections of the Fondation François Schneider, FRAC Alsace, FRAC Champagne-Ardenne and 49 Nord 6 Est – FRAC Lorraine. Inspired by the concept of “confluences”, it explores the interactions between different works, like rivers that meet.

The pieces, drawn from a variety of styles and cultures, highlight shared emotions around water. Although each is distinct, they respond to one another and weave invisible links. The exhibition features thirty artists working in a variety of media, including painting, video, photography, installation, sculpture and textiles. Through different themes, the works engage in a dialogue of forms, compositions, narratives and colors. Visitors are invited to imagine themselves in moments of life inspired by water, whether admiring a sparkling sea, exploring urban beaches or observing the harmony between body and water.

This exhibition offers a new perspective on the works while revealing the artists’ shared inspirations and thus showing the striking echoes between the pieces presented.
