They Parlaient Idéale, Laure Prouvost

Venue: [mac]room for the museum

A filmic invitation from artist Laure Prouvost to embark on a journey she defines as follows: "The initial idea was to take a journey to an ideal elsewhere, allowing us to learn to know ourselves better, as men, women, young, old, of French or foreign origin. The important thing is not the outcome of this journey, but its path, made up of encounters and exchanges."

Les Veilleurs, Ali Cherri

The exhibition is designed around Ali Cherri's totems The Gatekeepers FIRE and WATER, acquired in 2024 by the Museums of Marseille.
