CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN – L’EXHIBITION[NISTE] – CHAPTER II

A major summer event from the Grimaldi Forum Monaco is dedicated to the work and imagination of Christian Louboutin, a footwear designer and key figure in the fashion industry who has drawn much of his inspiration from the Principality.

The set design encompasses 2,000 m² and unveils previously unseen works tied to the designer’s Monegasque inspirations as well as new collaborations, including a unique project being developed with British artist Allen Jones.

Far from a classic retrospective, the exhibition path was designed as a joyful odyssey through three decades of abundant creativity infused with curiosity for all cultures and arts.

While the shoes will take pride of place, with a selection of unique pieces, the designer especially wanted to pay tribute to those who inspire him and make him dream.

The exhibition opens on Saturday at 10:00, July 9 and will close in August 28, 2022.

CINE-CONFERENCE: The Worlds of Albert I, diary of a life

The result of meticulous historical research, the most complete animated film ever established on the Prince of Monaco, based on two funds archives of prime importance: the collection of old films of the Oceanographic Institute and that of the firms Gaumont and Pathé. On this occasion, filmed newsreels were screened of which the Prince is the central figure and the animated views he produced himself, during his oceanographic campaigns, on which he recorded impressions of filming in his autograph journal.

Based on a rich iconographic and filmed documentation, this new film-conference on Prince Albert I will seek to question the familiar themes of his activity, at once scholarly, sovereign and humanist, while exploring less traveled paths, to show intimate and singular facets, closer to the experience and the truth of his journey.

At Prince’s Palace courtyard, Saturday July 9 at 21:30.

Jacket and tie required.

Ongoing

Newton, Riviera

The title of the exhibition clearly circumscribes a geography, that of the Côte-d’Azur to Bordighera, in Italy, which Helmut Newton photographed from the 1960s until his death in the early 2000s. “A Riviera” is thus a pretext to explore the work of a major photographer of the 20th century in a different way, through now famous images, like others rarely presented to the public.

At Villa Sauber until 13.11.2022.
