Exhibition Amandine GURUCEAGA - Biennale Artocène

The 4th edition of Artocène offers an exhibition trail between 580m and 1,800m altitude. This artistic trek takes you on a discovery of singular exhibitions on the theme of the evolution of the body and in relation to the landscape. Twelve international artists have created works in situ in unusual locations: immersive installations, videos, sculptures, etc.

With the artists: Rebecca Allen, Cécile B. Evans, Loucia Carlier, Giulia Cenci, Amandine Guruceaga, Camille Henrot, Oliver Laric, Nefeli Papadimouli, Panos Profitis, Hugo Servanin, Yan Tomaszewski, Zhang Yunyao
and Aurélien Dougé
From June 28 to September 14, 2025, on the iconic site of Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc, the contemporary art biennial Artocène presents its 4th edition. Entitled Augmented Bodies, this edition brings together twelve artists exploring the evolution of the body (or bodies) through science and technology.

Join us on June 28-29 for the opening weekend.

Several highlights will punctuate the biennial with a program of events centered around the exhibitions: performances, banquets, multidisciplinary talks, readings, workshops, and guided tours. Dates will be announced soon.

Augmented Bodies offers a reflection on how organisms evolve or adapt to their environment, whether through natural processes (evolutionary biology) or via science and technology.
Since its beginnings, humankind has enhanced its capabilities through tools. The mechanical tool was followed by the digital tool, virtually extending or amplifying human faculties. The recent emergence of connected tools and artificial intelligence marks a new era, fundamentally altering how humans relate to their environment.

Exploring the relationship between bodies and landscape, Augmented Bodies takes the Alpine landscape and the practice of mountaineering as the starting point for its curatorial approach. The Mont Blanc Massif, an extreme natural environment, has been transformed fi rst by technology (sporting equipment, cable cars, climate change), and more recently by digital tools (GPS, data...).
It can be seen as emblematic of the emergence of new relationships with the body.
Caught amid these fast and radical changes, other species also adapt—often through hybridization. The animal and plant kingdoms become a repertoire of evolutionary scenarios, offering inspiration for homo sapiens.
Will the development of human technique and technology require a return to nature and the living world? Might humans be called upon to integrate the long rhythms of the landscape into their own bodies?

From 28/06 to 14/09/2025, every Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday between 10 am and 4 pm.

Free of charge.
