Description
by Arne Quinze and Joana Vasconcelos
A group of works exploring the poetic, the surreal and the unexpected, in the spirit of Jean Cocteau, whose legacy is deeply rooted in Villefranche-sur-Mer.
For this major project, Quinze has invited Portuguese artist Joana Vasconcelos to join it in creating an extraordinary body of work, exploring the poetic, the surreal and the unexpected. In the spirit of Jean Cocteau, whose legacy is deeply rooted in Villefranche-sur-Mer, the exhibition invites visitors to rediscover surrealism and dreaming as essential prisms through which to reflect on our contemporary culture's increasing estrangement from nature - a loss and alienation that Quinze sees as deeply damaging.
