Exhibition Details

Galleria Continua presents a major exhibition dedicated to Pascale Marthine Tayou, a leading figure in international contemporary art, at its Les Moulins site, located in Boissy-le-Châtel.
Tchâm: Confidences is a monographic exhibition celebrating 25 years of collaboration, trust and shared experience between the Cameroonian artist (based in Belgium) and the gallery. The project unfolds across the entirety of the 10,000 sqm site, which has hosted large-scale works and bold artistic projects from around the world since 2007. Between vital breath and joyful tensions, Tchâm: Confidences invites visitors to reflect on our times, immersing them in the artist’s colourful universe—one in which they become active participants as they move through the space.
Spanning a wide variety of formats, the exhibition brings together over a hundred works from the artist’s early career to his most recent creations. It features materials and mediums that have long defined Tayou’s artistic vocabulary: glass, crystal, pastel-hued chalk—his recurring chromatic palette—plastic bags and found objects repurposed into formal and conceptual explorations. As the artist often reminds: "Everything is possible. Making an exhibition is not about the materials, but about what you do with them. It’s about finding a way to tell something new—be it with an umbrella or a branch…”
Several emblematic works are on view: the famous Poupées Pascale (Pascale’s Dolls), contemporary fetishes from ancestral cultures; the Colonnes Pascale (Pascale’s Columns), fragile and vibrant totems; and the Colonial Ghosts, multicoloured glass figurines produced in Sunderland, here gathered in one of their largest presentations to date. 
Deeply humanist, his work aims to bring people together beyond their differences. Through this exhibition, Galleria Continua celebrates a special relationship built on complicity, loyalty and a shared adventure. It reaffirms the gallery’s commitment to open, critical and deeply engaged artistic practices. Since its opening in 2007, Les Moulins has become a vibrant site shaped by the seasons, dedicated to monumental creation and cultural diversity—an ideal setting for Tayou’s generous, hybrid and free-spirited universe.
