Minotaur exhibition at Maison La Roche
From 28 May to 29 June 2024, the Fondation Le Corbusier is presenting the first European exhibition by American artist Lily Stockman at the Maison La Roche.
Minotaur was inspired by the bull motif, which features in Le Corbusier’s paintings and collages, but also evokes the two artists’ shared interest in Greek mythology. For this exhibition, Lily Stockman imagines herself as the Minotaur who, in Greek history, resides in a labyrinth that, while having multiple false paths, has only one true path to its centre.
Minotaur is peppered with references celebrating the rich cultural exchange between French and American artists and writers, from the tribute to the poet Apollinaire to the landscape shared by Joan Mitchell and Claude Monet in Clouds over Vétheuil–Nuages sur Vétheuil.
The exhibition is organised in partnership with the MASSIMODECARLO gallery.
