Printemps de l’Orangerie: The Gentle Flow

Part of a traveling exhibition taking place across Europe from February to December 2026, The Gentle Flow traces a cultural journey from the Deux-Sèvres region in France to Venice.

The project is a multidisciplinary dialogue between French painter Alain Churlaud and Venetian composer and sound artist Enrico Coniglio. Combining visual art and ambient sound, the exhibition explores two profoundly different environments: the mountains and the city of Venice.

The exhibition unfolds as a journey that begins in the glaciers of the Alps and gradually descends toward Venice, reaching the city at night. Paintings are displayed on opposing walls, allowing visitors to move between the two landscapes while being guided by a carefully designed sound scenography.

A documentary video installation presents the creative process behind the project, offering visitors further insight into the artistic collaboration and enriching the overall experience.
