Museum exhibition

Le Singe et L’Argile

Lin May Saeed
Fondation d‘entreprise Martell, Cognac, France
30 May 2026 - 3 January 2027

At the intersection of play, poetry and science fiction, the exhibition The Monkey and the Clay brings together nine international artists who explore the theme of collaboration between species. Through fable and imagination, the exhibition sets natural, human and technological productions in dialogue, sketching out new forms of alliances with the living world. Presented within a scenography evoking the forest, these hybrid works—installations, films, sculptures and sound pieces—contribute to a broader conversation on collective transformation, invoking concepts ranging from ecological compensation to eco-futurism.

‘We must help one another; it is the law of nature.’
The Donkey and the Dog
