The world around: vestiges and omens" exhibition
From 22 March to 1 September 2024
Free
After a period of residency at La Chartreuse, during which David Coste immersed himself in the site and created works of art, he is proposing and developing an exhibition that will be displayed in the town's monuments.
Bringing together contemporary creation, heritage and ancient art, the exhibition enables everyone to take a fresh look at the collections and architecture, and to renew our perception of them through the singular eyes of an artist.
In a universe ranging from grandiose sites to Martian deserts, from the ruins of the cultural industry to the wreckage of history, from simple geometric forms to complex constructions, David Coste folds and unfolds possible scenarios.
