An original space dedicated to contemporary art!
The pillar of the bridge, a vast architectural space of raw concrete of 160 m² and 9 meters high, becomes every summer the place of ephemeral in-situ installations.
Fin 2012, le nouveau pont de contournement de la ville de Saint-Gervais a été inauguré. Souhaitant apporter une dimension culturelle et artistique à cet ouvrage d’art remarquable, la culée de la rive gauche du pont a été dédiée à l’art contemporain. C’est en France unique et exceptionnel.

Cet espace, accessible par un escalier à ciel ouvert, se présente comme une sorte de «cathédrale de béton », formant un vaste espace architectural brut de décoffrage. Le lieu présente une architecture singulière et imposante, amenée à devenir chaque année le sujet et le support d’installations in-situ éphémères.

Ainsi, depuis 2013, Pile Pont Expo invite un artiste plasticien pour y créer, in-situ (en fonction et pour le lieu), une œuvre/installation monumentale d’art contemporain dialoguant avec le bâti intérieur du pilier, présentée au public pour la période estivale et jusqu’à la fermeture du lieu à la fin du mois d’octobre.

Le lieu est ouvert uniquement en période estivale, entre juillet et septembre.
