Programme
Damien Hirst
The British artist is the first to take possession of all the galleries on the estate, as well as temporarily presenting 10 monumental sculptures in the gardens. These will be on display until the end of 2024.
Exhibitions still on show:
• Cosmos, Satellites and Météorites, a series of previously unseen paintings and sculptures
• Natural History, dedicated to Damien Hirst's revolutionary works using formaldehyde
• The Secret Gardens (2023), in which Hirst depicts flourishing gardens in which different species of flowers emerge in bright colours, both harmonious and chaotic
TUNGA
Lieu : Auditorium Oscar Niemeyer
A major figure in South American contemporary art, Antônio José de Barros Carvalho e Mello Mourão (known by the pseudonym Tunga) developed a unique body of work, drawing on his enigmatic personality and inspirations from alchemy, philosophy, and psychoanalysis. Coming from a family of writers, poets, and activists, Tunga visited France often during his childhood and then developed a close relationship with the country throughout his career. The exhibition at Château La Coste will pay tribute to the artist's practice and continue the legacy of his work Psicopompos installed on the estate, a piece symbolising his sculptural research in the 1990s in to the energetic relationships between materials.
