L’appartement. Architectures du collectif exhibition at CAUE92

Published May 12, 2026

L’appartement. Architectures du collectif is an exhibition presented from April 3 to June 6, 2026, at CAUE92 in Nanterre, France. From the gallery (translated from the French, with added links):

The exhibition highlights a remarkable collection of apartment buildings from the second half of the 20th century in the Hauts-de-Seine department. Underrated, even overlooked, these buildings form the more or less ordinary backdrop of the cities where so many of us have come to live. Yet to preserve and pass them on, we must first come to know them. Delving into the most intimate corners of these homes, the photographic project commissioned from Myr Muratet documents five inhabited buildings by architect Jacques Kalisz in Nanterre, and sensitively portrays an “extraordinary ordinary” that reveals the diversity of interiors and ways of living. In contrast, the refrigerators by Japanese artist Tokuko Ushioda radically condense domestic life in its most commonplace form. Finally, the exhibition launches a documentary, graphic, and digital project with the Atlas of Collective Housing in the Hauts-de-Seine (1945–2000), intended to establish a collection of residential architecture, a resource for all those interested in architecture.
