Over three days, some twenty artists will present works that are so many viewpoints on notions reactivated by the extraterrestrial: otherness, the hero, the feat, the spiritual, or even eternity. The Salon de l’extra-terrestre is a salon of the 21st century. It invites us to look at the image the media, social networks and popular culture give of Space, and at the place this imaginary occupies in our societies. Gathered around five notions, twenty-two artists deconstruct this artificial narrative of the space adventure. Through a set of signs – guides to good manners that include non-humans, accounts of little-known players in space activities, illusory dreams generated by exceptional feats, the procession of vanities born of our relationship to time, or a spiritual approach to Space – the salon offers visitors a reading of their era. Not commercial in any way, it engages the viewer in an enterprise of demystifying one of the great fantasies of our century, to be pursued with the books on offer in the Salon’s bookshop."
