PARIS – To celebrate King Louis XIV’s famous garner André Le Nôtre's 400th birthday, essayist and curator Patrick Amine has organized an ambitious project to recreate a contemporary "new follies" in the National Domain of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, near Paris.
Soliciting 27 renowned international artists, including Hervé di Rosa, Bob Verschueren, Jan Fabre, Bae Lee, and Loris Cecchini, the gardens have become a stage for ephemeral works and natural sculptures around the garden, its avenues and terraces, andinside the Château. This exhibition-in-motion was built as a multifaceted and infinite garden theatre.
Le Nôtre will be on display at Domaine de Saint-Germain-en-Laye until October 14.
