Friche de l’Escalette
The Friche de l’Escalette located at the edge of the Parc des Calanques offers visitors the remains of its remarkable industrial heritage, punctuated by light architectures by Jean Prouvé and modern sculptures. Four contemporary artists are taking over the place this year. Héloise Bariol ceramicist evolving between Land art and architecture. The facetious artist/designerYonel Lebovici († 1998) transforms Prouvé’s Cameroon Bungalow into Fisherman’s Bungalow. Gérard Traquandi revisits the Baroque with his reliefs and ceramic jars. Adrien Vescovi thinks big with his huge theatrical hangings.
