Introduction

En 2024 le British Museum a lancé un concours international d’architecture pour l’extension de son aile ouest. L’équipe lauréate, dirigée par l’architecte Lina Ghotmeh, a confié à l’artiste Ali Cherri la refonte de la muséographie. Cette invitation, peu habituelle pour un artiste, s’inscrit dans une recherche au long cours sur les récits construits par les musées, les classifications et séparations qu’ils opèrent, par exemple, entre histoire naturelle et histoire de l’art. Sa récente exposition au Musée d’Art Contemporain de Marseille rassemblait ainsi une sélection de pièces des collections de la ville sans critères de style, d’origine ou de chronologie pour les confronter à ses propres œuvres, sculptures elles-mêmes réalisées par “greffe” ou “hybridation” sur des objets collectionnés ou achetés dans des ventes aux enchères ou des antiquaires.

Ali Cherri est né en 1976 à Beyrouth, vit et travaille à Paris
Parmi ses expositions individuelles récentes, on peut citer Les Veilleurs ([mac] Musée d’art contemporain de Marseille, 2025) ; How I Am Monument (Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, 2025 ; Vienna Secession, 2024) ; ENVISAGEMENT (Institut Giacometti, 2024), Dreamless Night (Frac Bretagne, 2024 ; GAMeC, 2023), Humble and quiet and soothing as mud (Swiss Institute, 2023), Ceux qui nous regardent (CAC La Traverse, 2023), If you prick us, do we not bleed?

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.

Nicolas Poussin (1594–1665) was the first painter to focus not simply on landscape, but on Nature, which he did with lyricism and increasing sensitivity over the course of his career. Given that Poussin founded a school, something of this ‘feeling for Nature’ was passed on to the generations that followed, for example, in the works of Gaspard Dughet and Claude-Joseph Vernet. But what of today? Although ecological worries are a major concern for our societies, are there any artists who still depict nature elegiacally? It is our aim to show that yes, indeed there are, by bringing together, on each of Villa Paloma’s floors, classical paintings with all manner of contemporary works: sculptures, installations, photographs, videos, films, paintings and drawings. And while these pairings for the most part represent a Franco‑Italian exchange, though not exclusively, they do so as a tribute to Poussin, who, though French, spent most of his career in Rome.The exhibition is in six sections – Storms and Nights; Forests and Gardens; Seascapes and Waterfalls; Deserts and Volcanoes; Mountains; Flowers and Butterflies – each offering a different perspective on what during Antiquity was called miracula naturae … the marvels of nature.With works by Roger Ackling, Robert Barry, Anne-Lise Broyer, Giorgio Andreotta Calò, Pier Paolo Calzolari, Christo et Jeanne-Claude, Thomas Demand, Gustave Doré, Gaspard Dughet, Latifa Echakhch, Tim Eitel, Ed van der Elsken, Ilse et Pierre Garnier, Nan Goldin, Andreas Gursky, Suzanne Husky, Mimmo Jodice, Pierre Joseph, Ange Leccia, Pierre Lesieur, Charles de Meaux, Fausto Melotti, Mario Merz, Sarah Moon, Giulio Paolini, Claudio Parmiggiani, Bruno Pélassy, Giuseppe Penone, Nicolas Poussin, Anting Qiu, Walter Robinson, Torbjørn Rødland, Anne Laure Sacriste, Christophe Sarlin, Pierre Thoretton, Pierre-Henri de Valenciennes, Joseph Vernet, Marine Wallon…The exhibition is accompanied by a catalog published by Humboldt.Curated by Guillaume de Sardes Exhibition design: Christophe MartinImage: Nicolas Poussin, Landscape of Grottaferrata: Landscape with River God / Venus and Adonis (detail) Oil on canvas  75 × 199 cm Musée Fabre, Montpellier Méditérranée Métropole, Inv. n° 825.1.171 – Photo Frédéric Jaulmes

This richly illustrated, educational and interactive exhibition tells the story of the birth and evolution of our species, Homo sapiens, and of the entire human lineage known as Hominins.It traces the journey, through long migrations, of human beings who invented tools and mastered fire, before leaving the African cradle of humanity and eventually settling, for the past approximately 10,000 years, across the entire planet. These fascinating and open-ended questions are explored in this exhibition, which is further enriched by multimedia content (interviews, 3D views of prehistoric objects, quizzes, games, etc.).Like all exhibitions by Synops editions, From Toumaï to Sapiens is aimed at a wide audience and shares scientific knowledge in an educational and engaging way. Passionate about sharing knowledge, Synops editions design exhibitions that are both educational, interactive and immersive, intended for museums, media libraries, associations, science and technology culture centres and all types of public venues.
