Collection Lambert - Avignon
In broad Moonlight / Au grand jour, Agata Ingarden

En collaboration avec le centre d’art Triangle-Astérides (Marseille), la Collection Lambert invite l’artiste franco-polonaise pour une grande installation dans l’espace du “Grand L” de l’Hôtel de Montfaucon. Pensée en deux volets — In Broad Daylight in Marseille / In Broad Moonlight in Avignon — the exhibition will present works never before shown in France, as well as new productions conceived specifically for each art centre.

After training in New York and then in Paris, Agata Ingarden now divides her time between France and Greece. In Avignon, she will unfold the full diversity of her artistic research, drawing on post-apocalyptic, alchemical and poetic imagery to construct visual narratives in which the living and the technological merge.

PRÉSENCE

“PRÉSENCE” offers a new creative opportunity to the 26 contemporary artists featured in the exhibition. Through a sensitive and evocative PRÉSENCE at the heart of the works presented, the artists rehabilitate an aesthetic, perhaps fill a void, or revive the fading memory of places of remembrance.

Prompting reflection on our relationship to others and to ourselves, by opening new windows and holding up a mirror, this exhibition reveals the imperceptible and invites us to discover hidden realities.

Le Grenier à sel - Avignon
Des raisonnements déraisonnables, Julien Prévieux

Through videos, installations, murals, sculptures, and drawings, this exhibition examines systems of language as structures of power, regulation, and meaning-making, across two fields of application: space activities on the one hand, and artificial intelligence on the other.

A key figure in the contemporary art scene, Julien Prévieux embraces a multidisciplinary practice driven by a playful approach to social critique. A keen observer of the contemporary world and our behaviours, the artist is particularly interested in the impact of technological revolutions on our societies, and in their hold over individual and collective bodies.

Domaine de Panéry - Ceysson & Bénétière - Pouzilhac
Suite Panéry, Jérémy Liron

Painter and theorist of perception, Jérémy Liron presents a series dedicated to the Domaine, where fragments of trees, architecture, and intense skies create variations “neither quite the same nor quite another,” exploring repetition as a way of shaping the visible.

Fondation Vincent van Gogh - Arles
à Vincent : un conte d’hiver

Inspired by Vincent’s correspondence, 21 modern and contemporary artists take up the themes he addressed and present their works to him as if they were letters. In doing so, they fulfill Van Gogh’s wish to be “a link in the chain of artists.”
