Time to say goodbye.
Thank you for all the good years.
Hundreds of guests experienced the « Black Clown Carousel « by
Carsten Holler since 2015.
Certainly a highlight over the years. We will miss our smiling monochrome bees 🐝.

This work, which at first glance evokes a classical marble bust, actually recreates the famous 'Big Bob' punching bag used in combat sports training. Claire Fontaine humorously inverts Bob's status, and a simple punching dummy becomes a work of art which is both literally and figuratively untouchable. This ironic reversal of conventional values is typical of Claire Fontaine's work.

A work at the crossroads of the physical sciences, geometry and philosophy!

Member of the Royal Academy of Arts, the British artist Conrad Shawcross, quickly gained a reputation for himself through his modular, systematic sculptures. One can interpret his work as the exegesis of a variety of texts written by illustrious figures in the history of science (Dorothy Hodgkins, Charles Babbage, etc.). Lattice III explores the geometry of the tetrahedron. The 112 tetrahedra used are arranged in a mesh pattern, akin to atoms. Through its singular structure, the sculpture illustrates the idea of a space in constant expansion, and questions the very nature of the place in which it is shown.

« Nous tenions à disposer d’une vraie maison. Non pas une maison de famille ni même une résidence secondaire, mais un lieu nous permettant de recevoir nos clients et d’accueillir des artistes en résidence le temps qu’ils créent une œuvre in situ. Un décor brutaliste n’aurait pas fonctionné ici. Nous avons donc fait appel à India Mahdavi – une évidence pour nous– qui a conçu une maison ultra graphique mais confortable, douce et accueillante.» Très vite, afin d’insuffler une force sculpturale au bâtiment, l’architecte d’intérieur parisienne a eu l’idée de peindre sa façade en argent. «Plutôt que de chercher à camoufler la maison, j’ai souhaité armer sa présence dans le paysage», confie-t-elle » AD Magazine.

La Grande Porte (1975) by Agustín Cárdenas can now be seen at Domaine du Muy!

Agustín Cárdenas was born in 1927 in Havana where he attended the Academy of Fine Arts and studied modeling and direct carving which became his preferred creative techniques. He freed himself from the traditional teachings he received to found a new, more modern and abstract carving language that is well represented by La Grande Porte. Cárdenas mixes influences from America, Europe and Africa all in one lean artwork with simplified volumes, a formal abstraction balanced by its title choice that is indicative of a figurative representation. Look at our highlight stories to see more photos of Agustín Cárdenas’ work.

Niki de Saint Phalle at the Domaine du Muy! A selection of sculptures and lithographs by the Iconic Feminist Artist are exhibited in the Silver House and Domaine du Muy’ sculpture park.

This fountain/sculpture, painted in lustrous colours, depicts the Nanas [chicks], the emblematic female figures of the artist’s oeuvre, joyfully reunited in a bath. The playfulness shown in this work is an homage to uninhibited femininity and sexuality.

Summer exhibition ☀️. The Domaine du Muy is pleased to announce a new group exhibition on the motif of sculpture in drawing or painting.

Exhibited artists: John M Armleder, Fabrice Gygi, Gabriel Kuri, François-Xavier Lalanne, Sol LeWitt, Allan McCollum, Robert Mangold, Isa Melsheimer, François Morellet, Dennis Oppenheim, Vaclav Pozarek, Tomas Saraceno, Oscar Tuazon

The works highlight the different ways in which artists evoke sculpture or are inspired by it: from the preparatory drawing to the sketch of a work that may or may not be realized, from the study of line to that of color. The exhibition also allows the confrontation of the work in three dimensions with drawing. Indeed, the visitor will find in the park of sculptures some pieces of the artists exposed in the gallery.
