The inner island at the Carmignac Foundation
The Carmignac Foundation invites contemplation.
An island is deserved.
First boarding for Porquerolles.
Then walk or cycle to the Villa, perched on its promontory, among maritime pines and fields of olive trees.
L'Alycastre,
a sculpture by Miguel Barcelo, dubs the visitor.
The wandering can begin, barefoot, with a gauge reduced to 50 people.
The Zen temple of 2000 m2, with its water ceiling, welcomes this summer
The Inner Island
.
The exhibition, under the curatorship of Jean-Marie Gallais, mixes around fifty works that interact, including a sculpture by Auguste Rodin, a painting by Peter Doig, a silver moon by Anna-Eva Bergman, photographs by Bernard Plossu, an ikebana by Camille Henrot, a canvas by Jean-Michel Basquiat, an installation by Bruce Nauman... to introspection.
A journey between dream and reality.

The opening of Bally Foundation in Lugano
Mel O'Callaghan,
Breathe, Breathe
, 2019. Bally Andrea Rossetti Foundation
A 1930s pink lakeside villa with cypress trees for sentinels.
A mauve foliage of wisteria and a flight of steps leading down to the water.
This is the magical setting of the new headquarters of the Bally Foundation, in Lugano, in the canton of Ticino in Switzerland.
To inaugurate this place and this dream landscape, the director Vittoria Matarrese imagined the exhibition
Un Lac Inconnu
, Proustian reference.
Gardens drawn with eye shadow by Hélène Muheim, engraved by Willa Wasserman or woven by Elise Peroi, liquid objects by Mel O' Callaghan, story by Yannick Haenel or chorus by Adélaïde Feriot, giant flowers by Petrit Halilaj & Alvaro Urbano, deep waters by Emili Skarnulyte, animated heart by Rebecca Horn… The journey through the Villa Heleneum leads us, beyond territory and memory, to an exploration of our unconscious.
An Unknown Lake
, through September 24, 2023, Bally Foundation.
"20,000 leagues under the sea", a theater odyssey
20,000 leagues under the sea.
Brigitte Enguerand
At a time when Christian Hecq is crowned with his three Molières for his hilarious
Bourgeois Gentilhomme
at the Comédie-Française, whose staging comes out of the purest Belgian surrealism, the Porte Saint-Martin theater takes over
20,000 leagues under the mer
s by Jules Verne, created at the Vieux Colombier in 2015. With his accomplice Valérie Lesort, Christian Hecq takes us aboard the Nautilus, a legendary ship that is both a sea monster and a state-of-the-art ship commanded by Captain Nemo.
This show for actors and puppets, which received the Molière for visual creation, is a delight.
20,000 leagues under the sea,
directed by Christian Hecq and Valérie Lesort, from May 10 to July 23, Théâtre de la Porte Saint-Martin.
The tree of life by Joana Vasconcelos at the Château de Vincennes
Joana Vasconcelos.
Kenton Thatcher
Joana Vasconcelos invests the Sainte-Chapelle of the Château de Vincennes with her
Tree of Life installation.
The artist maintains ties with the French capital where she was born.
She had an exhibition at the Château de Versailles, the only woman invited in 2012, and has a permanent work
Cœur de Paris,
installed at Porte de Clignancourt.
Tree of Life
, a monumental installation 13 meters high is made up of at least 110,000 leaves, all woven by hand.
Imagined as a tribute to Queen Catherine de Medici, widow of Henri II (who worked on the development of the Sainte-Chapelle and had 3000 elms planted), this textile sculpture is inspired by Daphne, a mythological figure who turned into a tree - in laurel- in order to escape from Apollo.
A dazzling hymn to trees and women.
Joana Vasconcelos, until September 3, Château de Vincennes.

Turner, the Bible at Citadelles and Mazenod
Turner
, by John Gage Editions Citadelles & Mazenod
Magnificent reference work, this Turner combines a study written by John Gage, specialist emeritus of Turner and Constable (who edited the correspondence of JMW Turner), a chronology which lists the life of the artist in the smallest details and a rich iconography which highlights the light of the painter.
Where we understand Turner's journey, his reflection on composition and color which push him to invent new forms, an evanescent painting which revolves around the transience of things.
Moreau, Monet, Pissarro, Renoir and Ensor will take full measure of this magical landscape artist.
