For Display Only
Diane Hymans

Solarium
Printemps de l’Art Contemporain

Marseille
May 2026
For Display Only brings together works developed by Diane Hymans around the staging of everyday objects and iconographic fragments. The artist became interested in skittles games preserved in social history museums (the MUCEM and the Musée de la Vie Bourguignonne), taking as a starting point the figure of Lin Kessler, a collector and woodturner.

The spatial arrangement of these images, in dialogue with the Aménagements series, reflects on the act of exhibiting objects whose original function has been altered through their museification.

The opening will take place on Thursday, May 14 at 6pm at Solarium, 40 Boulevard de la Liberté, Marseille. The exhibition will then be open from May 15 to May 22, from 10am to 12:30pm and from 2pm to 6pm.

Sudario #1 - Ouroboros
The View From Lucania
November 2025
Sudario is a visual arts magazine dedicated to amplifying voices from and about the Mediterranean. Its mission is to look beyond the seductive surface of the region—to probe its miracles and its curses, its beauty and its unrest. Experimental, sometimes psychedelic, and always engaged in confronting contemporary crises.

French artist Marie Quéau created eighteen plates, conceived as palimpsests in which her images dialogue with  the pages of  “The Universe of Parapsychology and Esotericism”. Her work is scattered throughout this first issue, a sort of fade-to-black that both separates and connects the projects of sixteen artists: Katerina Angelopoulou, Taysir Batniji, Olgaç Bozalp, Federico Clavarino, Rä di Martino, Karim El Maktafi, Irene Fenara, Maen Hammad, Karim Kal, Yazan Khalili, Stelios Kallinikou, Bojan Mrđenovic, Bandia Ribeira, Sara Sadik, Federica Sasso, Jacques Sorrentini Zibjan.

Curated by Magali Avezou and Stefano Tripodi. 

A limited edition of 75 enveloppes with one of  Marie Queau’s image is available. Printed by Paolo Nava Studio (Milan).
