Curator: Elizabeth Brooke, Senior Project Curator at the Tate.

From Friday 29 March to Sunday 29 September 2024, Nouveau Musée National de Monaco - Villa Sauber
The new exhibition at the Villa Sauber honours Pier Paolo Pasolini, perhaps the last European intellectual to have gained worldwide renown. A half-century on from his death, his influence can still be felt across the different fields in which he worked: he is read, commented on, adapted, and inspires contemporary creative artists. While he preferred to describe himself as a writer, it was his films that brought him to the public’s attention. The exhibition looks at his inspirations and his legacy.

The exhibition takes its name from "pietre paesine", ruined marble, whose geological markings are reminiscent of painted landscapes, on the boundary between figuration and abstraction.

The collective exhibition CONCRETE BEACHES, ARTIFICIAL LANDSCAPES is based on a hypothetical scenario. Abstract, metaphysical, uncertain. Visitors should approach it like a fictional tale, one to which everyone can bring their own vision of a shared future. Every piece and object serve to animate those imagined futures, some of which may already have come to pass. Inspired by the flamboyant dreams from the first collection of short stories by J.G. Ballard, Vermilion Sands (1973), the exhibition uses hybrid storytelling to stimulate the imagination.
