**In the spring of 2025, LaM, in partnership with La Condition Publique in Roubaix, will present an exhibition entitled Les étoiles refroidissent aussi, which will be held in Hall B and will also be part of lille3000?s Fiesta! season
Through its collection of modern, contemporary and outsider art, and exceptional loans, LaM offers a unique immersion into the world of partying. Between bursts of intoxication and a return to sanity, this major exhibition invites us to look beyond the mere appearances of celebration. Like a deceptive mirror, the party rises in a whirlwind of euphoria, reaching its climax before a gentle return to reality. Playing with the limits of the bodies that venture beyond the nocturnal boundaries and into the public space, the artists invite us to question the ephemeral aspect of the party.
The ambivalence of the party fascinates artists, who often associate it with the world of childhood. The practice of pretense, omnipresent in children's games, is characteristic of carnival and its derivatives. By seizing and revisiting the codes of parades, artists also create or recreate social ties in a more egalitarian approach.
Far from the white walls of museums, the large Hall B of the Condition Publique creates an unusual space, characteristic of the marvel and instability of the festival. Les étoiles refroidissent aussi brings together 13 artists from the LaM collection, in a transgenerational way, as well as several specific invitations, such as to the artist Benoît Piéron.
With works by Davide Baluda, Alighiero e Boetti (Boetti Alighiero, dit), Mohamed Bourouissa, Daniel Buren, René Guisset, Petrit Halilaj, Arthur Van Hecke, Annette Messager, Helmut N. (Nimczenwki Helmut, dit), Michel Nedjar, Benoît Piéron and André Robillard.
Exhibition conceived on the occasion of the "LaM Vagabonde" program in partnership with La Condition Publique and as part of the new edition of Lille 3000, _Fiesta !
