Interior Perspective – Diseck

from September 5 to September 26, 2026

Since its opening in 2005, the VOG Contemporary Art Center has established itself as a key venue for showcasing and promoting contemporary art in Fontaine. Housed in a former movie theater at the entrance to the city, the center presents several exhibitions each year featuring a mix of painting, photography, sculpture, installation art, and contemporary creation. Through tours, workshops, lectures, and cultural events, the VOG works to raise awareness among all audiences and promotes a vibrant and accessible approach to art.

In the fall of 2026, the VOG will host the exhibition “Perspective Intérieure 2” by Henri Colomb, also known as Diseck, a key figure in the Grenoble art scene. A painter, photographer, sculptor, and muralist, Diseck has spent several years developing a rich universe where urban culture, animal figures, installations, and hybrid imaginaries intersect. This exhibition follows “Perspective Intérieure,” presented in 2007 at La Bifurk, and brings together different facets of his work in an immersive and sensitive presentation. Through his series “Somos Todos Animales,” the artist casts a gaze that is at once tender, ironic, and critical on our society, using the animal figure as a mirror of our human behaviors. The photographs extend this immersion into a vibrant hip-hop culture, while the sculptures and installations unfold this universe in space, like an interior architecture inhabited by narratives, symbols, and fragments of everyday life.

Free guided tour of the exhibition with the artist on September 26 at 4pm, upon presentation of a Grenoble Art Up! ticket.

From Dusk Till Dawn

Until January 3, 2027

Solo exhibition at Le Magasin, National Center for Contemporary Art.

Wed.–Sun. 11am–7pm

Adrien Fregosi’s (1980–2024) work was built from a simple vocabulary: familiar figures, animals, houses, and ordinary landscapes—all images capable of carrying complex emotions without ever fixing them in place. Informed by graffiti, independent publishing, and Grenoble’s alternative scene, his practice unfolds through a form of painting in which lived experience becomes open-ended, always accessible, always in motion.

Conceived as a journey through a day, From Dusk Till Dawn takes visitors from evening to the return home. Each space corresponds to a moment, a light, a rhythm. The celebration gives way to night, night to morning, then to afternoon, before the journey leads back toward the home. More than a narrative, this progression offers a way of inhabiting time. Shaped by the years of the artist’s illness, the exhibition never treats it as a closed subject. Instead, it shows how illness, fatherhood, friendship, and childhood coexist within the same body of work, without hierarchy, with a sensitivity that leaves room for the viewer’s own gaze. Works by invited artists extend this presence and, around Fregosi, form a community of affinities in which homage becomes, above all, a living conversation.

With works by: Jean-Michel Alberola, Marion Balac, Laurent Faulon, Damien Fragnon, Roméo Julien, Estrid Lutz, Anita Molinero, Noé Nadaud, Delphine Reist, Saeio, Sophie Guerrive, Martí Sawe.

Free admission to CNAC from September 24 to 27 upon presentation of a Grenoble Art Up! ticket.
