Nuit Blanche 2024 returns on Saturday, June 1, 2024, and is already shaping up to be a not-to-be-missed event for all art and culture lovers. Every year, this magical night transforms cities into vast open-air art galleries, where luminous installations and artistic performances amaze visitors. In Paris, it's an invitation to rediscover urban space from a new angle, through bold, ephemeral creations.
Among this year's art treasures, Jean Dubuffet's Tour aux figures, located on Île Saint-Germain in Issy-les-Moulineaux, is a must-see in the Hauts-de-Seine département. This monumental work, also known as "L'Hourloupe", is an emblematic example of art brut, an artistic movement pioneered by Dubuffet. The 24-metre-high tower is covered with colourful, abstract motifs that captivate the eye and stimulate the imagination. Created between 1965 and 1985, it represents a plunge into Dubuffet's fantastic universe, where every detail tells a story.
To visit the Tour aux figures and its surrounding park during Nuit Blanche 2024 is to treat yourself to a journey to the heart of art and nature. The Ile Saint-Germain park, with its vast green spaces and winding paths, offers an idyllic setting for an evening stroll. It's the perfect opportunity to discover or rediscover this exceptional work of art, while enjoying a friendly and enchanting atmosphere.
