La mer imaginaire

Villa Carmignac – Ile de Porquerolles

The Carmignac Foundation has invited the Mexico-based American curator Chris Sharp to design a new exhibition in celebration of its third anniversary. Named “La Mer Imaginaire” (The Imaginary Sea), the project will be transforming the villa into an underwater natural history museum, exploring the interactions between our civilisation and the subsea world. Visitors wandering among the various works and fascinating creatures from the depths enter a dream world that is currently under threat.

Dali and Gaudi

The endless enigma and the architect of the imaginary

Carrières de Lumières – Les Baux de Provence

The 7,000m² Carrières de Lumières multimedia exhibition centre is honouring two 20th-century masters this year, with two immersive, digital shows. Dali: a retrospective of over 60 years of creative genius and the various artistic styles invented and explored by the Catalan master. Antonio Gaudí: initially criticized as ridiculous and provocative, Gaudi’s work was fervently defended by Dalí. This tribute to his architectural genius leads visitors on a quasi-mystical voyage of his UNESCO World Heritage constructions, from Park Güell to Casa Batlló, Casa Milà and La Sagrada Família.
