The selected works will be exhibited at the museum next May and June, and will be visible during the European Museum Night.

I am happy to announce my artistic presence in the 384-page work of art history devoted to the artistic representation of joy. Written by Paul Ardenne. 

The smiling face of ancient art to today (Western and non-Western art); bodies celebrating, alone or in groups; participatory art forms aimed at well-being and harmony; charitable art dispensing concrete benefit, in the spirit of care. The different forms of expression examined are drawing, painting, banners, sculpture, photography, video art, performances. Joy is also a political issue: Arbeit macht Freude Nazi, entertainment strategies, Feelgood culture, joy prefabricated by entertainment media and constituting a market. These specific “uses” of joy, which distort it, give rise to a specific field of representation, also analyzed and illustrated in the work.

Opening Thursday, June 1 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., Espace Van Gogh in Arles, ground floor at the back of the cloister, drawings and paintings by more than 100 artists, including myself, we are waiting for you! Exhibition from the 1st to the 6th, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Opening on Wednesday, May 17 at 4 p.m.
