Double news for Lee Ufan who lives in Arles as he lives in time, an artist with a very specific relationship to space and light.
It is worth taking a walk in Alyscamps, the Arles necropolis of Late Antiquity, where the Korean artist composed
Requiem
, an installation of 13 works (in the form of a tribute to Boltanski or a green tear on a stained glass window…) which magically resonate with this city of the dead.
We must continue the journey with Lee Ufan Arles, the foundation which opened on April 15 in the heart of the Vernon hotel, a 17th century building, under the high patronage of Antonin-Le-Pieux, whose sculpted head was discovered. during the renovation works.
Laid out with the help of architect Tadao Ando and designer Constance Guisset, Lee Ufan Arles shows all the facets of his work through sculptures, installations and paintings.
A moving variation over time.

With 400,000 visitors since July, LUMA continues its interdisciplinary program open to social issues.
Alongside the renewed Maja Hoffmann/LUMA collection displays, featuring works by Tacita Dean, Olafur Eliasson, Sigmar Polke, Cyprien Gaillard and Rachel Rose, two new exhibitions have just opened.
One is devoted to Native American artist Sky Hopinka (a first in France) and his photo and video work, which, through his reflections on territory and landscape, develops an indigenous aesthetic.
The other is dedicated to the American Arthur Jafa whose work, using video, music, sculpture and sound, explores black American culture.
Deployed in two areas, the Grande Halle and the Mécanique Générale,
this spectacular exhibition reveals the radicalism of his subject.
Masterful.

What are NFTs?
Beyond the English acronym of "non fungible token", the book co-written by Sophie Lanoë, cultural strategy consultant, and Olivier Lerner, senior reporter, explains this technology which makes it possible to sell or buy digital objects stored on a blockchain, this decentralized and secure information storage and distribution network.
After reading it, you will know how to speak NFT, and will know the terms of "metavers", "cryptobros", "Ethereum", or "mining".
You will be part of the club of celebrities who have converted to it (Justin Bieber, Gwyneth Paltrow, Reese Witherspoon Paris Hilton…), will know how to invest and know the risks.
On the way to Web3!

What do they have in common, these magnificent salons, these secret rooms, these mysterious alcoves?
Or these palaces, these mansions, these places of power that we discover over the pages?
Their floor, an essential decorative element, the quintessence of the decorative arts.
Starting with the floor is Madeleine Castaing's magic recipe with her leopard pattern.
Other decorators like Jacques Grange, Henri Samuel or Roberto Peregalli followed suit with foliage, Scottish, neo-Egyptian, graphic patterns, bouquets of flowers...
Carpet Society
tells a very French story, an alliance of taste and style, in a word of elegance, that of the Codimat house (an acronym for Comptoir de Distribution des Manufactures de Tapis), an address exchanged like a secret since 1953 by the club of great decorators.
For decoration freaks.
