The new exhibition at the Villa Paloma, “Tremblings – Recent acquisitions by the Nouveau Musée National de Monaco”, brings together a selection of works acquired by the NMNM under the leadership of Marie-Claude Beaud between 2010 and 2021.
Conceived by Célia Bernasconi, curator of the exhibition and Chief Curator at the NMNM, the exhibition features contemporary works by 17 living artists,* including 9 women, representing 12 different nationalities. What all of these artists share in common is a response to the definition of “trembling thinking” which, in the words of the poet Édouard Glissant, “unites us in absolute diversity, in a whirlwind of encounters.”
Video installations, sculptures, paintings and photographs reflect the tremblings of the contemporary world, offering a range of committed visions of the globalised world and the fragility of our societies.
