“From Workshops to Workshops,” photographs by Michel Sima, a new exhibition presented by the Cultural Affairs Department

Organized by the Cultural Affairs Department at the Exhibition Hall of Quai Antoine Ier, the exhibition “From Workshops to Workshops” showcases the photographic work of Michel Sima, whose career in artist portraiture began in the mid-1940s with images of Pablo Picasso in his studio. He subsequently captured portraits of many artists from the School of Paris. His unique work provides a valuable documentation of 20th-century art history.

This exhibition bridges modern art and contemporary works. Curated by Donatien Grau, Advisor for Contemporary Programs at the Louvre Museum, it takes place in the “Exhibition Hall of Quai Antoine Ier,” located near the “Ateliers du Quai,” an international artist residency managed by the Cultural Affairs Department. This space, dedicated to creators, highlights the rich artistic history of the Principality.

A carte blanche is given to Théo Casciani, a young resident artist whose work intersects literature with visual and performing arts. The artist will use various means and forms, including public discussions, a series of interviews, film screenings, sound piece recordings, concerts, and performances, to explore the concept of the studio.

In addition to guided tours for the public, a program of workshops and courses will be offered for young audiences, with a particular focus on drawing and visual arts.
