A late announcement from Culturespaces about the next show at the Carrieres des Lumieres in Les Baux. The 2023 show ended last weekend and we must wait this year til 19 April for the new one,
Egyptian Pharaohs. From Cheops to Ramses II
As usual, there will be two new immersive exhibitions: the long programme on the pharos and a short programme, ‘The Orientalists. Ingres, Delacroix, Gérôme… ’ In fact it is the same programme that is on offer in Paris at the Atelier des Lumieres for 2024. Very useful I think for school-kids who have to ‘do’ the Egyptians.
The Orientalists will be pretty special – it records a whole generation of French artists who travelled to North Africa as it opened to visitors and were enthralled by dreams of souks, palm trees, oases, palaces…and harems. It should lend itself beautifully to the wrap-around experience of seeing art in the old quarries.
Dates: (in all senses of the word) 19 April 2024 – 5 January 2025
