Programme
SEA, POP & SUN
A tribute to the vitality of the 1960s and 1970s, the exhibition unfolds a sun-drenched imaginary shaped by desire, the sea, and freedom, where leading figures of Pop Art — Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Evelyne Axell and Martial Raysse — dialogue with contemporary artists such as Théo Mercier, Judy Chicago, Tracey Emin, and Tschabalala Self. Between celebration and critical reflection, nearly 80 works explore the legacy of a pop spirit as vibrant as ever.
Les Géologies du rêve, Julian Charrière
Venue: Fort de Sainte-Agathe, île de Porquerolles.
Drawing on the story of Agatha of Sicily, who was a protector against earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and fires, Julian Charrière invites us to take a meditative dive into the bowels of the earth.
