Autumn Exhibitions at the New National Museum of Monaco

"Dance, Dance, Dance" and "Designing Dreams, a Celebration of Leon Bakst" are the forthcoming must-see exhibitions at the Villa Paloma and Villa Sauber in Monaco

"Dance, Dance, Dance" will be on show at the Villa Paloma.  This is a three-phase project on choreography and its movements, collaboration and outreach.  This exhibition focuses on dance, with its images, body movements and different rhythms, from rehearsal to public performance. There will also be a workshop at the museum on researching this living art, bringing together choreographic works, dancers and artists/stage designers.  Finally, there will be a colloquium with debates on the exhibitions and the platforms that are open to the multifaceted aspects of this art.

 
"Designing Dreams, a Celebration of Leon Bakst" will be on display at the Villa Sauber.  It was designed in association with Professor John E. Bowlt of the University of Southern California in collaboration with many researchers and international donors.  This exhibition is based on the collections of the New National Museum of Monaco and the permanent repository of the Société des Bains de Mer.

The exhibition showcases Léon Bakst's most beautiful creations for the Ballets Russes (1910-1921) and also shows his decisive influence in the field of textile design.  The contemporary visual artist and choreographer Nick Mauss was inspired by Bakst's printed textiles designs of 1922-1924 to create a huge décor in the Villa Sauber to evoke Bakst's exuberant works.

"Dance, Dance, Dance" at the New National Museum of Monaco

What Shall We Do Next? At the Villa Paloma in Monaco

On Friday 18 and Sunday 20 November, from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., the Villa Paloma is presenting What Shall We Do Next? (Séquence #3), a performance by Julien Prévieux, interpreted by Marion Carriau, Sophie Demeyer, K. Goldstein and Kate Moran.

What Shall We Do Next? (Séquence #3) is a performance that takes "patented" gestures as a starting point.  The artist has created a choreographic work by selecting gestures that have been patented by companies from the American industrial property agency's web site.  This performance is a veritable archive of "gestures of the future," and is an opportunity for Julian Prévieux to ponder on the ownership of our most common gestures and the way in which we are constantly made to change the repertoire of our "body techniques."  The aim is to show what our physical future could be like, how we will move our hands and eyes in five or ten years' time and ask to whom our gestures belong.
