For its first stop in Europe, Swoon‘s traveling exhibition “Time Capsule“ will be installed in the Fluctuart showroom, the world’s first floating art center, a unique venue open to all the public. A chronological journey through the work and technical evolutions of this major street art artist.

The exhibition features works from Swoon’s first “The Canyon: 1999-2017“ retrospective, held in 2017 at the Cincinnati Contemporary Arts Center (CAC). It consists of a “Time Capsule”: a chronological journey through the artist’s work, retracing her technical evolution. The exhibition begins with Swoon’s first impressions of linoleum blocks, repeats her iconic works and ends with his most recent productions. A return on all of her creation to fully appreciate her talent.

The artist Swoon will be 15 days in residence within Fluctuart to create a work on site. In the street, Swoon interacts and captures the elements that surround it to create a work firmly inscribed in its environment. The artist considers “architecture and building as part of the work”, and it is in this perspective that she invests Fluctuart. Even before entering the exhibition hall, the visitor immerses himself in the artist’s world: from the entrance of the barge, his colorful work and collages take hold of the place, creating a pathway on the walls.

Fluctuart is a lively, dynamic and evolving place. A place of creation, exhibition, meetings and exchanges, inspiration and entertainment, hosting a pool of cultural and artistic events. This center of floating urban art in Paris is distinguished by its modularity, its structure and its accessibility in order to offer a cultural showcase offered to all. The 1000 m2 space, totally transparent and with three levels, is located at the foot of the Invalides bridge. It consists of different spaces that accommodate temporary exhibitions, a permanent collection, a specialized bookstore, cultural events, creative workshops and a rooftop, place of exchange, meetings and sharing.
