Description
Oli himself says it: entering an exhibition is like entering the artist's mind. Inspired by André Malraux's concept of the imaginary museum, Oli's Imaginary Museum brings this idea to life. From one work to the next, Oli unfolds a personal score, with each room representing an inner state: the shock of a calling and the doubts that follow, a flash of inspiration, the confrontation with others' gazes…
Oli's approach is multicultural, bringing together diverse geographical perspectives and art forms, from cinema, music and sport to contemporary art, popular culture and street art. Here, everything carries equal weight and artistic hierarchies crumble. Oli's voice joins those of the invited artists, but above all, each visitor gradually becomes an active participant in the narrative. The imaginary museum thus becomes increasingly collective and universal. Get your tickets for Oli's Imaginary Museum!
