Abstract constructions Nassos Daphnis – Rita McBride

March 14 to October 25, 2026

Curator : Gregory Lang

The exhibition, curated by Gregory Lang at Fondation CAB, establishes an unprecedented formal and conceptual dialogue. He presents a carefully selected group works by two American artists, from different generations, that leads visitors through a spatial form of abstraction situated between structure, surface, and architecture.

The display builds a dialogue between Nassos Daphnis’s paintings—characterized by expansive planes of primary color from different periods of his career, from the late 50’s to the 90’s—and Rita McBride’s sculptures, installations, and architectural models, from the last 30 years.

Nassos Daphnis (1914-2010), a key historical figure and pioneer of Hard-EdgePainting movement and Minimal Art, whose work was exhibited in the major American museums during his lifetime, was represented by the Leo Castelli Gallery with numerous solo and group exhibitions between 1958 and 1998.

Rita McBride (1960), internationally recognized for a multidisciplinary practice driving sculpture into the public sphere, is a contemporary artist and sculptress firmly established and exhibited in most major European and American museums and art centers, including recent exhibitions at the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2023), and Dia Beacon (2023-2025).

Jean Prouvé – Inventor of houses

March 14 to October 31, 2026

Fondation CAB in Saint-Paul is dedicating an exhibition to Jean Prouvé, a major figure in 20th-century architecture and design, focusing on his founding ambition: to industrialize the act of building.

Bringing together photographic prints of emblematic buildings from the archives, spanning the 1930s to the 1970s, the exhibition unfolds a chronological journey tracing the evolution of Jean Prouvé’s architectural practice.

Rare prefabricated architectural elements — panels, brise-soleil, doors — testify to Prouvé’s technical inventiveness. A selection of furniture complements the ensemble.

The exhibition design and the selection of archives, furniture, and architectural elements are by the Downtown Gallery.
