Bernard Descamps. Where the Wind Blows
From 4 April to 23 August 2026
Free
From 4 April to 23 August 2026, the Musée de Grenoble is hosting an exhibition dedicated to the work of Bernard Descamps, featuring around a hundred photographs donated by the artist in 2025, including previously unseen prints. The Bernard Descamps exhibition – Where the Wind Blows invites visitors to follow the photographer’s gaze as he has observed humanity and its relationship with the world, and with nature in particular, for over 40 years. Every journey and every destination undertaken since 1974 stands as an encounter with the Other, but also as a face-to-face encounter with the self.
This geographical and personal journey places his work within the history of photography in a unique way: An image of our world rendered with an economy of means that elevates reality through poetry and, at times, a touch of irony. For him, travel is by no means an end in itself, nor is the journey a creative process: it is, above all, the realisation of a dream. That of a child who discovered Africa in 1991 and, as he says, fell in love with it. What inspires him day by day is, above all, the lives of the men and women with whom he stays in the Central African Republic, Mali or Morocco. Each image stands as an invitation to take a step back in order to preserve this land, whose balance is being undermined by the challenges of globalist, ultra-consumerist politics.

Charlotte Perriand. The Creative Mountain
From 4 April to 23 August 2026
Free
From 4 April to 23 August 2026, the Musée de Grenoble is hosting an exhibition dedicated to Charlotte Perriand, a leading figure in 20th-century design and architecture. This event highlights a still little-known aspect of her work: her mountain photographs, recently donated by the Charlotte Perriand Archives to the Musée de Grenoble. These images, taken between 1927 and 1938 and possessing a rare poetic intensity, are juxtaposed with some of her furniture designs and architectural works. The exhibition aims to reveal the intimate coherence of Perriand’s creative universe, where the mountains are never reduced to mere scenery, but assert themselves as a matrix of thought, a place of renewal and formal experimentation, both concrete and spiritual.
Born in 1903 in Paris to a modest family whose Savoyard origins would later fuel her imagination, Charlotte Perriand belongs to that generation of artists and thinkers who, in the interwar period, sought to redefine the relationship between humanity, technology and nature. Trained at the Union centrale des Arts décoratifs, she made her mark very early on in the still male-dominated world of design and architecture through her boldness and intuition.
Her work reflects a fresh perspective, an eye ‘enamoured of modernity’, to use her own words, yet one that takes in the world from every angle. This insatiable curiosity led her to rub shoulders with the artistic avant-garde: Fernand Léger, Ozenfant, Picasso and Dora Maar, amongst others, whose aesthetic approaches nourished her thinking. Amidst this effervescence of ideas and experimentation, she gradually forged a conception of design as a total act — a way of inhabiting the world rather than merely a decorative art...
