Fonds Bustamante
Located in the former Sainte-Croix church in Arles, a 12th-century building recently restored by Charles Zana, Fonds Bustamante is an independent space conceived by Jean-Marc Bustamante as a living place for creation, transmission and dialogue. Structured around three main principles — preserving, exhibiting and transmitting — it brings together the artist’s works and archives while developing a programme open to different generations of artists and a wide range of media.
Exhibitions, conferences, masterclasses, encounters and educational projects foster a reflection on the relationship between artworks, artists and audiences. The Fonds aims to be deeply rooted in Arles while participating in international artistic exchanges.

Programme
En Miroirs
Conceived by Jean-Marc Bustamante for the opening of the Bustamante Foundation in Arles,En miroirs inaugurates the exhibition programme through a presentation designed as a space of correspondences, revealing the affinities and dialogues connecting these artists, works, and ideas. Bringing together painting, sculpture, photography, drawing, and installation, the exhibition features artists selected by Jean-Marc Bustamante among those who have shaped his artistic, intellectual, and emotional journey.
From Cristina Iglesias to Rémy Zaugg, from Jan Vercruysse to Thomas Schütte, and from Reinhard Mucha to Rodney Graham, the works explore themes such as memory, language, space, architecture, and perception. Like a film’s closing credits, the exhibition brings forth a community of presences that traces a sensitive cartography of artistic relationships beyond generational and cultural boundaries.
