After seven months of renovations, the 180 square meter site – kept in a raw state with its black floorboards, cracked paint and old graffiti on the walls – has just been decorated with a thousand and one lights.

Each person has their style and specialty, from waxed paper origami to working with wood

An exhibition space, they put their works in dialogue with those of other artists for exhibitions of painting, photography or engravings, like after-work parties… Nice excuses for coming back and seeing if the light is still on!
