WHAT'S ON NOW 

GIONO 

30 October 2019 to 17 February 2020 

In order to give substance to one of the most prolific artists of the XXth century, practically the entirety of Giono's manuscripts resonate in this exhibition through a great number of documents, archived photo reports, interview files and annoted books. Some of the documents have been borrowed from the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, and others have been kindly lent by Le Centre Jean Giono in Manosque. A beautiful catalogue of the show, published with Éditions Gallimard is also available.

COMING SOON

KHARMOHRA
Art Under Fire in Afghanistan 


22 November 2019 to 1 March 2020

Since 2001, a new generation of artists has emerged in Afghanistan. This exhibition questions the effects of this new artistic creation, as well as the dissemination and reception of art and culture in Afghanistan and beyond. It thus produces a shift: rather than focusing on these Mediterranean states as weakened targets of attacks, we see them as places of culture and heritage. With an emphasis on news and using the Afghan paradigm as a starting point, this exhibition will be accompanied by Study Days and an artistic program (cinema, theater and music).

Meet the artists: On November 21st, be the first to discover the new exhibition at 5 pm, accompanied by the 11 Afghan artists. A translator will be present to facilitate conversation. Cocktails will be served at 7 pm.

EXCAVATING CONTEMPORARY ARCHAEOLOGY

BEHIND US

"Excavating Contemporary Archaeology," a European cooperation project

In our May-June Newsletter, we presented the work created by the artist Francisco Tropa with a class of 12- and 13-years-olds from the Collège Louis Armand. This exhibition, Behind Us is the result of this encounter between the artist, the students, and the collections of the Mucem.

Invited to develop an interest in archaeology and to apply its methodologies, the Marseille school students worked both in the museum's storerooms and in their classroom. Supervised by Francisco Tropa, who places history and the myths of civilization at the heart of his practice, they observed, selected and then drew 18 objects from the Mucem collections, from which they composed the imaginary story of a lost society.

The exhibition presents part of their works, a midpoint between poetic creativity and a report on an archaeological dig. These are accompanied by five original silkscreens designed in a dialogue with the guest artist. The printing process, which superimposed colored layers, can be read as a nod to archaeology – a process of discovering the world "layer by layer."
