Programme
VERTIGO
Echoing the dizzying experience of the Mediterranean sun, the mistral wind, or the depths of the sea, VERTIGO explores the links between the perception of natural phenomena and abstraction since the 1950s. Ranging from Yves Klein and Gerhard Richter to Helen Frankenthaler, Olafur Eliasson and Frank Bowling, the exhibition brings together some fifty works that invite visitors to gaze with Vertigo, curated by Matthieu Poirier.
Les Géologies du rêve, Julian Charrière
Venue: Fort de Sainte-Agathe, île de Porquerolles.
Drawing on the story of Agatha of Sicily, Julian Charrière invites us to take a meditative dive into the bowels of the earth.
