Posted • For the latest edition of “Culturalee in Conversation” we spoke to Pascal & Paulina, creative forces behind the magical Adelaide Salon in Hove ✨
In a Regency home by the sea in Hove,
Where the salt wind carries whispers of distant times, Pauline and Pascal have lit a quiet fire, a flickering flame that echoes across centuries. Back to the gilded salons of Paris.
The spirit of the 17th century is reborn, not in powdered wigs or candlelight,
But in pigments, performance and sound. A fusion of past and present. Curated with love, rebellion, and a sharp eye for beauty.
The Adelaide Salon. A gathering of wayfarers in the age of digital fog. Where Brighton’s creatives, Painters, poets, dancers, and dreamers can converge and immerse themselves in open-hearted dialogue.
It is Pauline, the performance conjurer,
and Pascal, with design stitched into his soul, who shape these evenings.
A tapestry of sculpture, short films,
Experimental sonics, poetic murmurs,
Art that bleeds from canvas and screen.
A provocation in velvet gloves,
A reminder that creation is not a luxury
But a lifeline, a communion.
Here, one might sip wine beside a teapot that sings into your ear, or be stilled by the monochrome gaze
Of clowns, carnival ghosts, and buffoons, Painted by The Baron Gilvern,
The Adelaide Salon is not merely a place, but a pulse of a new creative moment.
