The “Pompidou Circus” exhibition at MuMo - Centre Pompidou opens its doors to you for a workshop tour!
The MuMo - Centre Pompidou is stopping in Castellane for three days, from Monday, April 13 to Wednesday, April 15.
The mediators are offering art workshops combined with a tour. Free and open to all (children and adults), these sessions provide an opportunity to learn about the works on display in the “Pompidou Circus” exhibition.
Several slots are available upon reservation:
- Monday, April 13, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
- Wednesday, April 15, from 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
The “Pompidou Circus” exhibition, designed by the Musée National d'Art Moderne - Centre Pompidou, aims to bring the works from the Paris museum's collections to a wider audience.
Based on the idea of traveling, nomadic performances, and caravans, and with a desire to bring together all audiences, the exhibition focuses on the theme of the circus. Many works in the Centre Pompidou collection explore this subject. The circus is depicted by Henri Matisse in brightly colored cutouts in his famous book Jazz. It is also the melancholic figure of the street performer, a character on the margins of society, highlighted by Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, and Georges Rouault.
Clowns and acrobats are the artist's doubles: thanks to them, reality and imagination intertwine. They master a thousand tricks, bringing laughter and dreams to the delight of the audience before finding themselves alone once the curtain falls. The circus is also, of course, a whole repertoire of animals. At MuMo, visitors will encounter horses and elephants, accompanied by tamers and riders; trapeze artists and harlequins; clowns and magicians. This gallery of characters invites visitors to step “through the looking glass” for a journey into the world of the circus.
