Introduction

While the tradition of artists working on stage design for the theatre, opera and dance has been widely studied, their work on exhibition design is in need of further study and wider dissemination. Historical figures such as James McNeill Whistler, El Lissitzky, Marcel Duchamp or Richard Hamilton made a mark on their era and, closer to our own time, artists such as Laura Owens, Ugo Rondinone or Céline Condorelli have produced equally remarkable displays. Within this broader perspective, we will reflect on how artists have been able to spark dialogue with the works of other artists, often drawn from museum collections, by deploying sculptural processes and conceptual approaches that bring into play the architecture and constraints that are unique to the exhibition.

Our research covers a long period, which takes as its starting point the artist upholsters of the eighteenth-century Salons, but we could have gone back much further, before the specific roles of artist, curator and designer were defined. Today, although these roles have been clarified, some museums and art centres have developed an active policy of inviting artists to take on curator and designer roles, to reintroduce a form of authorship into these peripheral aspects of exhibition and challenge the norms that have been imposed over time. Other projects have come about as a result of spontaneous initiative on the part of artists, some of whom have made it a recurring practice, an integral part of their work.

Historians, curators and artists will compare their research and experiences of these ways of operating on the boundary between art and set design, to make work with and for others.

To evoke the Mediterranean, means summoning up the extraordinary history of the many great civilisations shaped on its shores over the centuries. But it also means facing up to its future, which is more uncertain than ever. The various pressures associated with its use, population growth, pollution and global warming are all threats to its future, global warming are all threats to its unique biodiversity and ecosystem services.This brand new immersive and interactive exhibition "Méditerranée 2050" aims to encourage visitors to the Monaco ‘s Oceanographic Museum to take a new interest in the Mediterranean and become involved in its protection, through a space-time journey to 2050.
