Programme
Philippe Ramette
For the start of the 2023 academic year, the Bonisson Art Center, located in Rognes near Aix-en-Provence, has chosen to highlight the work of artist Philippe Ramette. This solo exhibition brings together an important group of sculptures, photographs, drawings and installations, some of which have been reactivated for the occasion.
Born in 1961 in Auxerre (France), Philippe Ramette lives and works in Paris. Philippe Ramette's work can be seen in various public spaces: his sculpture "Eloge de la transgression" was exhibited for the Voyage à Nantes festival in 2023 on the Cours Cambronne. "Eloge du pas de côté́", installed in 2018 for the Voyage à Nantes, has become perennial. A large-scale installation, "Eloge du déplacement" has been on view in Nice since 2018 along the new tramway line.
Curated by Béatrice Andrieux. With the participation of Xippas Paris.
