Chagall, Paris-New York

This immersive exhibition is dedicated to the prolific painter Marc Chagall (1887-1985). Discover the artist's repertoire projected on the walls of the Atelier des Lumières, complemented by short excerpts of classical, klezmer and jazz music, which were also part of Chagall's cultural universe.
Explore the whole of his work, through Paris and New York, the emblematic capitals of modern art. These two cities represent two crucial stages in the artist's long career. Paris was his city of choice and, thanks to the avant-garde movements of the 1910s, it offered the young Russian painter a breeding ground for experimental works, which he enriched with his own cultural references.
New York is above all a place of exile in the 1940s, which nevertheless gives a new impetus to the artist's creativity.

This immersive event is accompanied by music from The Magic Flute, a nod to Klee's fascination with opera and Mozart in particular. Wander through an imaginary city and listen to the opening of an opera, an underwater concerto amidst golden and multicolored fish, complemented by the rhythm of its geometric structures.
Paul Klee was first and foremost a musician: the son of a pianist and a violinist, and a professional singer, he was also a very talented violinist. Throughout his life, his works were influenced by music, which became an integral part of his creative process.
This digital exhibition pays tribute to Klee's two passions and highlights the pictorial range of his works. Despite their childlike appearance, his works include a wide variety of techniques and are highly imaginative. Which one will inspire you the most?

The Workshop of Lights opened in the spring of 2018 in a former smelter in the 11th arrondissement of Paris. This very large exhibition space is perfectly suited to the ambitions of this new Parisian cultural venue.
The founding principle is put technology at the service of the artistic tradition by appropriating classical pictorial works to make them into gigantic video projections.
It is another way to organize exhibitions, to discover art, it's amazing and it will please the young publicfor sure!
