VEILHAN VERSAILLES – CHÂTEAU DE VERSAILLES

2009

ARTER PRODUCES VEILHAN VERSAILLES EXHIBITION.

“WE MUST CONFRONT THE DESIRES FORMED BY OUR PREDECESSORS AND SHOW HOW OUR OWN DESIRES EXTEND AND COMPLETE THEM AND THIS WITHOUT UNDUE INNOCENCE, BUT WITH THE CLEAR-SIGHTEDNESS OF AMBITION. MY OFFERING, IN THE MAIN DEPLOYED OUTSIDE THE CHÂTEAU, RUNNING FROM EAST TO WEST, COMPRISES A SET OF WORKS PRODUCED FOR THE OCCASION WHICH FORM A CONTEMPORARY DOTTED LINE DIVIDING THE ESTATE, MASTERFULLY DESIGNED BY LE NÔTRE, IN TWO. ART IS A TOOL OF VISION THROUGH WHICH WE MUST PEER IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND OUR PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE.”
— XAVIER VEILHAN
