With her forest and mineral landscapes composed from cardboard, Éva Jospin, with the kind authorization of her gallery Suzanne Tarasiève, immerses visitors to the Museum of Hunting and Nature in the fantastic world of XNUMXth century baroque gardens.
In the middle of the city, in Paris, in the Marais, the artist resurrects nature and creates a magical world, drawing inspiration from Italian baroque gardens, the caves of romantic gardens or the rock gardens of landscaped gardens.

The main work, which gives its name to the exhibition, is a space to cross: “Galleria” (gallery in French). It is a large cardboard arch, on a human scale, made up of thousands of barely visible details.
This cut-out section of forest characterizes the artist's unique style. It is a gallery that is both plant-based and architectural, made of plinths and niches in the style of an Italian studiolo (the ancestor of the cabinet of curiosities), but where you can stand.
Other works – “Genatophe”, “Foret”, “Capriccio” – are displayed in the different rooms of the museum in dialogue with nature and the animal world as well as with the work of Aurore d'Estaing and Faustine Cornette de Saint-Cyr and Guillaume Krattinger, respectively photographer, illustrator and sculptor.
Éva Jospin ventures into other techniques, such as embroidery with a panoramic work, “The Silk Room”, and into bronze sculpture, always inspired by gardens and the plant world.

A former student of the Beaux-arts de Paris trained at the classical school, the artist draws her inspiration from her forest walks, her bucolic daydreams and her imaginary worlds. And it takes us far.

THERE ARE LOTS OF MUSEUMS HERE
Annie Ernaux, the literature of reality at the MEP
The 2022 Nobel Prize-winning writer has been interested in photography for a long time, notably in the text “the use of photography”, a four-handed story published in 2006. At the European House of Photography, on the banks of the Seine , the exhibition Exteriors - Annie Ernaux & Photography flourishes until May 26, 2024.
The Weegee enigma, extreme photographer
American photojournalist from the 1930s and 50s, famous for his black and white photos of nightlife in New York, Weegee takes this nickname as a nod to the spirit board, the Ouija board. Because he proclaims himself a “psychic photographer” with the 3rd eye.
Joann Sfar featured at MAHJ
Who doesn’t know the comic strip “The Rabbi’s Cat”? Its creator, Joann Sfar, was born in Nice in 1971. In this retrospective at the Museum of Art and History of Judaism in the heart of the Marais, the first of its kind, we will see many original plates presented in images by the famous cat .
NOW ON THE MOOD MARSH
Divine brunch at the foot of Notre-Dame
Of course, officially, it is not the Marais. But at Son de la Terre, a barge recently moored at the Montebello quay (5th), the 4th arrondissement is in sight. Moreover, this one is incredible: on one side, it is Notre-Dame flooded with sunlight; on the other, the quays, the book sellers, the walkers, the joggers.
Saka, a cocktail bar like in Tokyo
Here is an address which gives the measure of the transformation of the Marais. And it's enough to silence the grumpy people whose mantra is: “It was better before…” No, everything was not better “before” in the Marais. Besides, there was no American bar like Saka, which cultivates a form of excellence that can only be found in Japan.
Jazz at 38Riv: The highlights of May
The only jazz club in the Marais, 38Riv is the temple of cool and swing. Rue de Rivoli, between Saint-Paul and Hôtel de Ville, its vaulted cellars are the home base of the new jazz scene. Every evening, the magic happens.
