Family dinners sometimes throw up unexpected surprises. You might be hoping for a little peace and quiet with your loved ones, but like a grain of sand, one ill-chosen word can light the blue touch paper and a verbal joust ensues. Is honesty always the best policy, especially when it comes to those closest to us? If this play is to be believed, the answer is yes. Tonight though, one way or another it’s all going to come out, and we’re in for a treat.

Exhibition – “Whispers of the Wildlife”
From Saturday, March 30, to Sunday, April 7, 2024, from 1:00 pm to 8:00 pm, at the Comité National Monégasque A.I.A.P – U.N.E.S.C.O.
My childhood, marked by the absence of photos, nurtured my love for photography. Initially drawn to street photography, my encounter with wildlife in South Africa during the Covid pandemic in 2021 changed my perspective. Moved by the beauty and vulnerability of wild animals, I decided to dedicate a significant portion of my time to documenting them. In August 2023, my first exhibition in Nice was a success, reinforcing my belief in the power of photography for change. I am now committed to raising awareness through my images.
Exhibition – “Pasolini in Chiaroscuro”
From Friday, March 29, to Sunday, September 29, 2024, at the Nouveau Musée
National de Monaco – Villa Sauber
The new exhibition at Villa Sauber honors Pier Paolo Pasolini, perhaps the last European intellectual to have gained worldwide renown. A half-century on from his death, his influence can still be felt across the different fields in which he worked: he is read, commented on, adapted, and inspires contemporary creative artists. While he preferred to describe himself as a writer, it was his films that brought him to the public’s attention. The exhibition looks at his inspirations and his legacy.

Exhibition – “Pier Paolo Calzolari – Casa ideale”
From Friday, November 17, 2023, to Sunday, April 7, 2024, at the Nouveau Musée National de Monaco – Villa Paloma
Pier Paolo Calzolari is known for the formal originality of his multidisciplinary practice (painting, sculpture, but also performances understood as “acts of passion”), which often resorts to the use of organic materials such as tobacco leaves, fire, or frost to create “installation works” that question the limits of contemporary art. A retrospective exhibition, “Casa ideale” is a rare opportunity to discover the world of an artist who has left his mark on the history of art through his often unconventional approach to various practices of the plastic arts.
