The kick-off was given at the Maison de l’eau et de la Méditerranée (MEM) with the screening of the documentary film Claude Viallat, a painter in the arenaby Guy Lochard and Olivier Guérin (Striptease)directors, retracing the journey of this immense artist, founding member of the Supports-surfaces movement. The House of History celebrated its 10th anniversary in style with a costume ball, a festive event which transported participants into a period atmosphere, allowing them to relive history through dances, Catalan songs, humor and costumes of yesteryear.
Reconnect with history
A few medieval stands were also able to take visitors back in time. At the Espace des Arts, the conference by Alexandre Charrett-Dykes, doctor in art history, allowed us to understand the full dimension of this major artistic movement that is the Supports-surfaces movement (1970-1972). These days allowed the public to reconnect with history, art and traditions.
