MEET NICOLAS DAUBANES, GUEST ARTIST FOR THE 2026 EDITION OF LE NOUVEAU PRINTEMPS

As the guest artist for the 2026 edition, Nicolas Daubanes is currently presenting two exhibitions that reflect his exploration of the memory of places, confinement, and forms of resistance.

• At Maison Salvan, the exhibition “Sur le fait, par erreur et au hasard” brings together recent works—drawings, photograms, installations, and sculptures in sugar concrete—including a new series created during his residency there, continuing his experiments with photography begun at the Villa Medici
