Studio of the South

In 1888 in Arles, Van Gogh dreamt of sharing his roof with other painters to create a living studio. Between 2020 and 2023, the American artist Laura Owens will organise and run the L'Atelier du Sud residency in a house on the rue du Cloître.

Today, the Vincent van Gogh Foundation in Arles is inviting the 24 participants to come together to reflect on this stage of their artistic journey. Van Gogh's paintings Field of wheat with poppies and Green ears of corn (Arles, 1888) and several facsimiles of his correspondence accompany the approach of the participants in L'Atelier du Sud.

With : Laura Owens, Candida Alvarez, Alvaro Barrington, Julie Beaufils, Julien Ceccaldi, Jacob Eisenmann, Gabriele Garavaglia, Charlotte Houette, Gary Indiana, Parker Ito, François Lancien-Guilberteau, Sadie Laska, Miriam Laura Leonardi, Eric Palgon, Blake Rayne, Adee Roberson, Andy Robert, Clément Rodzielski, Asha Schechter, Alake Shilling, Naoki Sutter-Shudo, Alicia Vaïsse, Mona Varichon, Alexander Zevin & Vincent van Gogh

Van Gogh et les étoiles

To celebrate its 10th anniversary, the foundation is spotlighting Van Gogh's masterpiece The Starry Night, which returns to Arles for the first time since its creation in 1888 (until August 25). The exhibition shows the influence of this nocturnal scene in 150 works by over 70 artists, from both the modern (Edvard Munch, Kasimir Malevitch, Georgia O'Keeffe, Yves Klein, Helen Frankenthaler...) and contemporary art (Tony Cragg, Alicja Kwade, Anselm Kiefer, Dove Allouche, Lee Bontecou...).
