Encounters between artists and the land. Between scientific knowledge and artistic practice. Between heritage and emerging technologies. Between creators and the public. It is through these dialogues that the artworks, reflections and experiences we share throughout the season come into being.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some days take the form of an opening, others of an open residency, a lecture, a creative workshop or a festive celebration. Others simply invite visitors to explore the trails, discover the history of Malvina, or experience immersive artworks in nature. Each offers a different way into the same project.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>ccdMalvina is a place where visitors come not only to discover artworks, but also to encounter the creative processes from which they emerge.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>It is also a place to slow down, walk the landscape, meet the artists, exchange ideas, and simply spend time together.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Little by little, a living creative ecosystem is taking shape at Malvina. It is a place where artists create, researchers contribute their knowledge, the landscape becomes a creative partner, heritage nourishes reflection, and the public is invited not only to discover, but also to participate, exchange ideas and return. Season after season, volunteers, partners and increasingly diverse audiences all contribute to shaping the unique character of this place.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 1200px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-4096-2\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/vangrimdecorpssecrets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/intelligences-sauvages-red.mp4?_=2\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/vangrimdecorpssecrets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/intelligences-sauvages-red.mp4\">https:\/\/vangrimdecorpssecrets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/intelligences-sauvages-red.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<h2>New Works Take Shape<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On <\/span><b>August 1<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, we will inaugurate the second edition of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/vangrimdecorpssecrets.com\/ccd-malvina\/corps-primal-corps-futur\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b><i>Primal Body \/ Future Body \u2013 Body in Transformation<\/i><\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Entirely renewed, this trail brings together fifteen new works created by <\/span><b>Isabelle Van Grimde<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from photographs of the body in motion and the landscapes of Malvina, transformed through generative artificial intelligence.
