MAMAC
MAMAC covers a vast period from the late 1950s to the present day. Among the 1,400 works in its collection, the museum offers a regularly renewed discovery of nearly 200 works. The tour is in major mode with key works of Pop Art and New Realism and two monographic rooms, unique in Europe, dedicated to Yves Klein and Niki de Saint Phalle.
This year, MAMAC offers two new displays on the top floor with one room dedicated to the artist Marcel Alocco and one gathering artists around the notion of “reference” or “tribute”. This last room brings together artists who dialogue through their practice with major figures of the History of Art.

Programme
New display of collections : “Quotations”
Venue: 4th floor - Collection tour
In the collection, MAMAC brings together paintings, photographs, collages and drawings that play on references to works of art history. Dive into a history of companionship, quotations and reinventions!
Ville songe, Flora Moscovici
Venue: Rooftop
At the moment, visitors can discover an in situ intervention by Flora Moscovici - a painting on the scale of the architecture of one of the MAMAC's terraces - which will interact with the urban landscape that unfolds at 360°c on the museum's roof.
The Painting in Fragments, Marcel Alocco
Venue: 4th floor - Collection tour
A new addition to the collections is "La Peinture en Fragments", a display dedicated to Marcel Alocco, born in 1937 in Nice where he lives and works. A visual artist, writer, poet and magazine editor, he was influenced by the developments in semiology in the 1960s. After studying Modern Letters, he met Ben, Arman and George Brecht, and took part in Fluxus actions, an international and informal movement aiming to bring art and life closer together.
Yes, but banner words, Caroline Trucco
Venue: Galerie contemporaine
Born in 1987 in Nice where she lives and works, Caroline Trucco was noticed at the 60th Salon de Montrouge which each year reveals young artistic talents in France. A graduate of the Ecole Supérieure d'Arts Plastiques de la Ville de Monaco in 2013 and a postmaster at ENSA Paris Cergy, she is developing a protean artistic approach that questions the notions of exoticism, elsewhere and the Other. She leads a collaborative work around ethnography and current issues in the artistic field.
Thu Van Tran
Venue: Second floor
The MAMAC is organizing the first major museum monograph in France of the artist Thu Van Tran.
The exhibition highlights the main aspects of his work: an artistic universe impregnated with his dual Franco-Vietnamese culture; the common history of the two countries and the visible or invisible heritage still inscribed in the language, the bodies in Vietnam; the lasting transformation of landscapes and the issues raised around the living. The journey will intermingle historical narratives and personal mythologies, existing works and new productions.
Thu Van Tran is now internationally recognized, having presented a masterful installation in 2017 at the Venice Biennale; she was nominated for the Marcel Duchamp Prize in 2018; and in 2022 she presented a major site-specific commission at the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh.
