Micaela Neveu presents The Pre-Columbian Code at the Mexican Cultural Institute

On Thursday, July 3, Micaela Neveu – director of the S/Beaubourg gallery – will be the guest of the Mexican Cultural Institute for a presentation of her book The Pre-Columbian Code: Messenger of the Gods, published by Éditions de Paris.

This publishing project explores objects brought back from the Americas during the modern era and their transition from cabinets of curiosities to museums, through the lenses of European fascination and projection. It is a work that weaves together art history, museology, and the anthropology of perception, echoing the curatorial positions currently upheld by the gallery.

The association Art Mouvance supports and accompanies this intellectual endeavor, at the crossroads of heritage and contemporary creation.

📍 Thursday, July 3 – 6:30 p.m.

📌Mexican Cultural Institute, 119 rue Vieille du Temple, Paris 3

🎟 Free entry, subject to availability

Monumental Scrive: Sculpture as a Living Presence

Monumental Scrive brings together a collection of abstract sculptures by Philippe Scrive, conceived not as objects to be interpreted, but as presences to be physically experienced. At the center of the installation, L’Homme-Cerf (The Stag-Man) — a figure inspired by the god Cernunnos — condenses the tensions of the work: archaic force, ritual verticality, and the principle of transformation. It lays the foundation for a perceptual space where matter, energy, and form are inseparable.

The scenography, developed in collaboration with the artist, organizes a structured path centered on movement and perception. For the occasion, the works have been renamed to guide interpretation toward their telluric (earthly) and gestural dimensions. Rather than being apprehended solely by sight, they engage the body through proximity, scale, and movement.

Monumental Scrive extends the reflection begun at Galerie S/Beaubourg around the notion of an "other world," introduced in Entropie (Antoni Taulé) and later explored in Les Demoiselles Revisited (Bedri Baykam), where painting became a critical device and memory of the modern gesture.

Exhibition on view until July 19 at Galerie S/Beaubourg.
