For Drawing Now Paris, POUSH is officially announcing its collaboration with Galerie Joseph, a network of over 30 exhibition spaces located in the heart of the Marais district. To inaugurate this partnership, Galerie Joseph is making one of its venues in the 3rd arrondissement available.e district, hosting a proposal conceived as a manifesto of contemporary collective creation.
Founded in 2020, POUSH has established itself as a unique ecosystem dedicated to supporting artistic creation. Located in Aubervilliers, the space now brings together more than 270 artists from over 30 nationalities, fostering cross-disciplinary approaches and collaborative dynamics. Conceived as a space for both production and dissemination, POUSH encourages exchanges between artists, curators, and academics, making the collective a true engine of creativity.
This logic is precisely what structures the exhibition "Duwoshows," presented from March 24 to 30, 2026. The project is based on a simple yet demanding principle: inviting artists to work in pairs, to conceive a work or a space together, and to develop a shared language from this encounter. Here, drawing is considered in its broadest sense: from the line on paper to its deployment in space, from the intimate gesture to expansive forms.
With Simmon Ballagny and Paul Pinon, a dialogue unfolds between language and image. The textual fragments collected by Ballagny, such as accidental puns and fleeting remarks, acquire a singular materiality, while Pinon's quick and incisive drawings introduce narrative tensions. Together, they create a space where humor and thought merge, and where text and image are constructed in a play of echoes.
The duo Bryce Delplanque and Morgane Ely, for their part, explore the correspondences between body and decor. Between large-format reinterpretations of a bourgeois interior in charcoal and anatomical fragments engraved on wood, which become motifs, the artists question the construction of desire and the circulation of forms, sliding ornament towards anatomy, and vice versa.
With Anne Le Troter and Margot Pietri, the collaboration takes on a critical dimension. Their installation Minor disturbances It examines how medical protocols and measurement grids contribute to the construction of bodily norms. Drawing becomes a tool for analysis, revealing the invisible structures that govern our rhythms and perceptions.
Io Burgard and Jennifer Caubet's project extends drawing beyond the surface. The line becomes matter, structure, volume. Their dialogue transforms space into a flexible and shifting field of forces, where forms bend, deform, and recompose themselves, paving the way for new spatialities.
With Yosra Mojtahedi and Hamid Shams, drawing becomes trace and tension. Their project LIMINAL.E. They approach architecture as a sensitive surface, where lines, texts, and materials record impacts, gestures, and memories. Between body, ritual, and politics, their collaboration explores a dimension of form that is both physical and symbolic.
Finally, Misha Gudwin and Ivan Volkov propose with Haunted Castle An immersive installation, conceived as both a sculpture and an exhibition space. This enchanting wooden architecture houses graphic works that redefine drawing as a trace inscribed in matter, inviting the viewer to enter a space on the border between reality and fiction.
Through these duos, "Duwoshows" highlights a generation of artists for whom creation is no longer conceived in isolation, but rather through encounter, friction, and exchange. This approach resonates fully with POUSH's DNA and finds an ideal testing ground within Galerie Joseph.
