Mark Handforth
'Drop Shadow' book exhibition - October 2014.
Mark Handforth, worthy heir of the Pop Art movement, is known for his sculptures diverting everyday objects and urban furniture.
Benches, lamp posts, signposts, vespas are thus re-presented, extracted from their original context and reinjected in a playful way in exhibition spaces or in the public space. Light is omnipresent in his work. Fluorescent light, candlelight, city light...

Unibail - Rodamco - Westfield
Mazarine Image supports Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield for the second chapter of the artistic program at Polygone Riviera.
The temporary exhibition of the French artist Philippe Ramette presents a set of sculptures as well as a series of photographs which draw a path at the same time playful and shifted inviting to the wandering.
In collaboration with the curator Jérôme Sans, Mazarine Image has defined the artistic program of time 2 and developed the communication tools, the communication supports as well as the digital tools of the exhibition.
Philippe Ramette's sculptures and photographs play on the imagination and tend to reverse our perception of the world, while showing a certain tilting of the earth's surface.
Thus, whether they are objects to contemplate, objects to manipulate, or objects to levitate, his works induce actions, gestures, or reflections that allow the viewer to stimulate his or her imagination, to invent his or her own scenario, and to expand, through thought, his or her own experience of reality.
Loris Gréaud - Centre Pompidou
ARTER produced [I] by Loris Gréaud, with the first part presented in the Centre Pompidou's forum, featuring the Drop Tower, a monumental performative sculpture from the top of which a man falls at regular intervals.
With his project [I], Loris Gréaud invests the Forum of the Centre Pompidou, one of the world's leading centers for modern and contemporary art, creating a singular, monumental work.
This performative work is the second part of an artistic diptych, the first of which is being exhibited at the same time at the Musée du Louvre. These two installations form a conversation between two emblematic cultural institutions, distancing themselves from the classic exhibition format.
ARTER produces exhibitions and major artistic events for cultural institutions, local authorities and major luxury brands.
