Sara Graça's solo exhibition at Goswell Road in Paris.
Sara Graça: toi, moi, la pluie
7 February – 7 March 2026
Goswell Road, Paris
For her solo exhibition at Goswell Road—and her first in France—Sara Graça proposes an intersection of winter, romance, architecture, interspecies relations, and the history of the space itself. The exhibition is framed through the figure of the “confused visitor”: a partial outsider who has acquired only fragments of the local language—enough to say “good night” and “I love you”—and who navigates the city not through its monuments but through materials encountered and salvaged.
Graça approaches the exhibition as a residency, working in situ and responding directly to Goswell Road and its environs. Prior to its transformation into an exhibition space, Goswell Road functioned as a stable. Where horses once lived, artworks now occupy the space. In both cases, the architecture offers shelter from the rain.
Questions of cohabitation and scale recur throughout the exhibition. Can sharing a roof be as romantic as sharing an umbrella? There is romance in the stable too—in proximity, in warmth. What about sharing a room? When is space enough space? Could two horses fit in your bedroom? Imagine you are both the size of a horse, lying down beside one another, whispering: “Good night, I love you”.
toi, moi, la pluie marks a moment in Sara Graça’s practice, in which sculpture is employed to consider forms of romance and coexistence, while working within and responding to a given architectural context.
This exhibition was produced with the support of the ‘Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation - Delegation in France’, which co-financed it as part of the EXPOSITIONS GULBENKIAN (edition #6) programme to support Portuguese art in French art institutions and spaces.
Sara Graça (Lisbon, 1993) lives in London and works in interdisciplinary ways, mainly using sculpture, drawing, photography and video. Her practice often questions ideas of value, authenticity and impermanence.
