About the sector
Emergence sector
The Emergence sector offers an exploration of the contemporary art scene at its most creative. The 23 solo shows organised by new galleries highlight a diverse range of techniques and themes, taking experimentation with the medium in new directions. From engagement with contemporary issues and experiments with perception to abstraction, the exhibition reveals the latest developments from a new generation of artists.
The Emergence sector is located on the first-floor walkways.

The exhibition stands out through the diversity of techniques and themes presented, pushing the experimentation with the medium towards new directions.
The power of documentary photography, positioned between resistance and resilience, unfolds across several projects addressing themes such as identity, exile, gender, equality, ecology, nature, and memory. Each adopts the technique that best reveals it, from analog photography to collage, embroidery, and archival methods.
A series of projects blur our sense of perception, playing with the boundaries of abstraction. Through various acts of recomposition, the artists establish a unique dialogue with their photographed subjects, invoking science, collage, and particular printing techniques.
Further exploring the relationship between the photographer and their subject, to the point where they merge into a single entity, several works examine the body—female and constructed, acrobatic and sculptural, fluid and visceral—showing the ongoing dynamic of a new generation of artists.
