Ceysson & Bénétière

From May 19, 2024 to November 3, 2024

In 2024, the Villa Datris Foundation explores the vision of the body by 65 French and international artists. A current subject, the body remains the concrete symbol of the states of mind of women and men around the world. By its title, the exhibition welcomes the representations of those who are one with both spirit and matter. Modeled by its structure, its interior life, as much as by the way we look at it, how do we see the body today? Since the 19th century, the representation of the “classic” body and the “ideal” nude has been called into question, reflecting the profound changes in our societies. More than a group exhibition, “making body” takes the pulse of human representation in what it offers at its most current, diverse and daring through the eyes of recognized and emerging artists.
