In Saint Sauveur Station, visitors can take in an exhibition, wander through the foyer of a peculiar hotel or watch a film outside under the stars, if the weather is kind. The ex-station is also a café-bar where we can exchange books, write on the walls, or even put up a tent. Saint Sauveur is a place to relax, to wait for someone special or for no-one in particular. We can reserve an intimate moment between friends, or simply share with whoever is there. The atmospheres, sounds and universes on offer are all modular. Novelty guaranteed.
Open from Wednesday to Sunday, from 12:00 to 19:00

EXHIBITION
New Freaks
18 September – 8 November 2009
The exhibition presents 15 interactive installations : visual and sound creations, transforming technical innovations which are now frequently used in contemporary and digital arts, cinema, theatre or design.The fascinating world of freaks is always situated on the borderline to real world. The selection of artists is declining the universal questions of freaks, with a certain sense of humour, threatening continuously to overwhelm the border of reality. From simple curiosity to dread, the monster fascinates, and while he belongs to the realm of phantasmagoria, there is always a danger that he will cross the threshold of the real world. Always with humour, this selection transposes and explores through various forms the universal issue of monstrosity in the work of these artists or artistic collectives, regulars of the international art scene.
Created in 2009 on the occasion of Europe XXL in Lille, this is a strange hotel whose rooms were entrusted by lille3000 to artists, fashion designers and designers from other fields. The various rooms, bedrooms and living rooms are fully-fledged artistic installations whose concepts sometimes bring to mind pages of history, already forgotten times and a touch of nostalgia: Berlin, Moscow, Warsaw and more.
