Inaugurated in the summer of 2023, the summer workshops provide opportunities for gatherings and shared experiences around artworks and artistic practices. This year, they offer a chance to delve deeper into the themes explored by the exhibition Pratiques cosmomorphes – (Ré)générer le vivant.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26 FROM 6 PM TO 8 PM
→ Encounter with Dane Mitchell
Discussion around the work "Aeromancy (Sketches of Meteorological Phenomena)" in the exhibition Pratiques cosmomorphes – (Ré)générer le vivant
Dane Mitchell's artworks, minimalistic and understated, stem from capturing and fixing organic and fleeting substances. He plays with scientific principles to distance our discernment and evoke our imagination. Drawing on his work "Aeromancy (Sketches of Meteorological Phenomena)" (2014-2017), Dane Mitchell will reflect on his relationship with matter, the invisible, and the connections that bind us to the world.
