Programme
Cautionary Tales, Valdrin Thaqi
In this new body of work, Valdrin Thaqi continues to develop a restrained figurative painting, where the image never presents itself as a narrative but rather as a situation. Figures appear within stripped-down spaces, removed from any temporal or social context, held at the threshold of the event. The series unfolds through minimal postures that concentrate a sense of unease without exposing it. Often depicted in three-quarter view, in profile, or with their gaze turned elsewhere, the subjects avoid frontality as one avoids a conclusion.
Stranger, Colin Davidson
Internationally recognised for his vivid, emotionally charged painted portraits, Davidson presents here a major evolution in his practice. While Stranger marks his first large-scale series of three-dimensional works, the sculptures remain deeply rooted in his long-standing commitment to painting as a tactile and expressive medium.
Marc Newson
Spanning four decades of groundbreaking practice, the exhibition brings together fourteen major works, installed both indoors and outdoors. Together, they offer visitors a rare opportunity to discover emblematic creations that have shaped the international discourse on contemporary design and profoundly influenced everyday objects.
Julian Schnabel
Always in search of new forms of expression, Julian Schnabel invites us here to experience the intensity of the gaze—directed as much toward art as toward the world. Conceived as a focused yet ambitious journey, the exhibition brings together a rare selection of his most emblematic works, chosen in dialogue with his friend and longtime collaborator Donatien Grau. Spanning the entirety of his career, this presentation offers a unique opportunity to measure the consistency of his inventiveness and the radical freedom of his visual language.
