THE SPOT
8 rue de l’Enclos Rey, 30000 Nîmes
The Spot, a 500m2 third-place with multiple, cross-disciplinary activities, is located in the Gambetta-Richelieu district. For the duration of the triennial, the Spot will be transformed into one of Nîmes’ three Houses of the Contemporaine, hosting the collective Green Resistance for a residency. Together, the Spot and Green Resistance have come up with “Ascendant Végétal”, a collaborative artistic experiment consisting of several participatory projects, involving members of the venue and local residents: planting actions, the creation of durable furniture and an exhibition on the place of plants in the neighborhood over the generations, following workshops held in March 2024.
Like all the Houses, the Spot is accessible during the Contemporaine de Nîmes, alongside the exhibition “La Fleur et la Force” [The Flower and the Strength], for a break, a drink or a coffee. The house opening party will take place on Sunday, April 7 in the afternoon, and a number of convivial events will be organized throughout the triennial.
