Programme
Achievements, masterpieces - The hour of glory
At the invitation of the Frac Sud - Cité de l'art contemporain, the Mucem and the [mac] -Musée d'art contemporain de Marseille- with the support of the French Ministry of Culture, the Région Sud and the City of Marseille, are joining forces to offer the public an unprecedented exhibition (over 350 pieces by almost 100 artists), in three parts, exploring the many forms of the relationship between art and sport. A Cultural Olympiad event.
The "L'Heure de gloire" exhibition features a vast array of works in all media, which address - often humorously, but also critically - most of the issues raised by the art/sport nexus.
