Programme
Movement and Light
Movement and Light, the 13th exhibition of the Villa Datris Foundation, takes you into a mobile and luminous universe thanks to a rich selection of historical artists who contributed to the birth of kineticism and optical art such as Victor Vasarely, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Martha Boto or Grazia Varisco.
Contemporary creation is also honored through 21st century artists: Olafur Eliasson immerses us in an immersive environment, Jenny Holzer uses light to convey her committed messages while Raphael Hefti and Félicie d'Estienne d'Orves transport us into a chromatic and changing atmosphere.
To deepen your visit, guided tours, conferences, meetings and artistic creation workshops are offered throughout the season.
