MyMicroGallery is delighted to present Transmatière, an international group exhibition curated by Stefania Carrozzini at Espace Sylvia Rielle, located in the heart of the historic Marais district on Place des Vosges in Paris.

The exhibition features a curated selection of contemporary artworks, including painting, photography, installation, and mixed media, by eleven artists from the United States, Norway, Italy, Finland and Guadeloupe.

Transmatière explores matter as a space of transformation and possibility. The exhibition invites artists to experiment with, challenge, and reinvent materials, pushing beyond the boundaries of form, substance, and perception. Each work becomes a dialogue in which matter is no longer static, but alive, mutable, and charged with new meanings.

Transmatière is an invitation to see, touch, and rethink matter through a journey of metamorphosis and creative discovery. The exhibition approaches matter as a point of departure, unfolding through painting, spatial configurations, and perceptual transformation.

Artists from around the world have engaged with this theme by reflecting on the role of matter in our present time. Returning to matter and its transformations, they conceive this exhibition as a response to the increasingly virtual world that defines our contemporary condition.

This force — this energy that drives artists to work with matter — reminds us of our need to feel substance, because first of all, we have a body. The body itself is matter, composed of atoms and particles, and today more than ever we need to reconnect with our physical presence through an encounter with materiality.

Traditionally, artists have always created from ideas: the idea becomes matter. Conceptual art, in many ways, remained within the realm of the idea itself. Yet today, there seems to be an ancestral need to produce and create through matter once again.

In reality, we cannot truly “create.” Only God — or the infinite intelligence of the universe, however one chooses to define it — can create. What artists can do is transform.

The process of transformation exists within every work in the exhibition: paintings, sculptures, videos, and spatial interventions. Reality itself does not exist as a singular condition, since each of us perceives a different reality. For this reason, the theme of Transmatière is both philosophical and deeply complex.

The further we move toward dematerialization and virtual existence, the stronger our need for matter will become. If artificial intelligence may one day be capable of doing almost everything, then the human gesture — poetic, physical, imperfect — will become increasingly precious. Through this renewed need for matter, we may rediscover what is truly human and what is not.
