Exhibition - "George Condo - Humanoids"
From Friday 31 March to Sunday 1 October 2023, Nouveau Musée National de Monaco - Villa Paloma
For George Condo, "the Humanoid is not a science fiction monster, but a depiction that uses traditional methods to bring a person's inner emotions to the surface". Over the course of eight sections, the exhibition traces the continuity of a profuse body of work that ranges from “space beings” to Who’s Who, from Guido Reni to Bugs Bunny. Featuring specially produced paintings, the exhibition offers a glimpse of the artist’s process of invention – as crazy as it is erudite – of humanoids.

Exhibition - "Planète Mer"
From Saturday 3 June to Thursday 31 August 2023, Galerie des Pêcheurs
As precious as they are vulnerable, the oceans and seas cover 70% of our planet and account for 97% of all water found on Earth. They connect people, provide food and oxygen, regulate our climate by absorbing almost a quarter of the CO2 produced, and are home to vastly diverse species. With the support of the Monaco Department for the Environment, Olivier Jude and Sylvie Laurent have chosen to exhibit a selection of unusual images that incite a sense of wonder, but also a deep reflection on the protection of our marine environment. This exhibition is being held under the High Patronage of H.S.H. Prince Albert II.

This silent conversation, orchestrated by Restiffe in the Villa Sauber, is like a cinematographic montage that alternates long shots and close-ups, monumental prints and smaller formats, fostering an embodied vision of the tattooed villa, where a (faceless) self-portrait of the author appears.

This major exhibition is part of celebrations to mark the 140th anniversary of Claude Monet's first visit to Monaco and the Riviera, where the great impressionist, already halfway through his long life, would discover the landscapes and light that were to be the turning point of his work and career. Around a section devoted to the paintings he produced during his stays on the Riviera, featuring twenty-one loaned pieces displayed for the first time close to the very places they were painted, the exhibition looks at the master's work, from his early days in Le Havre to his final paintings in Giverny, from the perspective of his constant quest to capture light.

Concert - "Brian Jackson"
From Thursday 3 to Friday 4 August 2023, at 9 PM, La Note Bleue
When Brian Jackson bumps into Gil Scott Heron in high school for the first time, the two hit it off royally. The shy 16-yearold piano prodigy sensed a kindred spirit in the kinetic young wordsmith, and he wasn’t wrong. Together they’d make ten records and amongst them, timeless hits like ‘The Bottle’, ‘We Almost Lost Detroit’, ‘Lady Day & John Coltrane’, with Jackson’s mellifluous brand of Jazz-Funk the perfect foil to Gil’s poetic beats and incendiary social refractions. Brian’s story doesn’t end there. He’d go on to work with Stevie Wonder, Kool & The Gang, Earth Wind & Fire and Gwen Guthrie just to name a few. Of late, he’s been back in focus with a new album released on BBE and works with the likes of Louis Vega.
