"The Seoul Museum of Art is pleased to present Jean-Michel Othoniel: Treasure Gardens, a solo exhibition by Jean-Michel Othoniel, a leading French contemporary artist known for his glass bead sculptures. The exhibition will be held from June 16th to August 7th at Seosomun Main Building, Outdoor Sculpture Park, and Deoksugung Garden."

This summer, Villa Medici is pleased to welcome French artist and sculptor Jean-Marie Appriou for his first solo exhibition in Italy featuring a series of new pieces that will populate the gardens of Villa Medici. These recent creations take up the core figures of his practice whose deeply dreamlike visual universe is imbued with telluric concerns. With great technical mastery, Jean-Marie Appriou represents fantastic worlds inhabited by human, animal, and plant figures.

Created in 1994 in Antibes in the villa-studio of Hans Hartung and Anna-Eva Bergman, two key figures in modern art, the Hartung-Bergman Foundation will be inaugurated in May 2022 after two years of construction and development. Thanks to the refurbishment, the public will finally be able to visit this remarkable architectural complex, which is a 20th century heritage site.

Spanning more than 3,000 square meters, “Useless Bodies?” is one of the most ambitious thematic investigations realized by Fondazione Prada to date. Conceived for four gallery spaces and the courtyard of its Milan venue, the exhibition explores the present condition of the body in the post-industrial age in which it seems that our physical presence is losing its centrality or is even completely superfluous. This shift impacts every aspect of our lives: from our working conditions to our health, our interpersonal relationships, and the way we retain information. The exhibition “Useless Bodies?” also explores how we physically adapt to a world increasingly based on two-dimensional imagery, not least in the light of the current pandemic.
