The Refuge : Waiting for New Beginnings
11 SEPTEMBER – 29 OCTOBER 2020 

During Manifesta 13 Marseille, Musée Cantini was transformed into a space where the audience can explore the boundaries between art in the public space and private life, the fine arts and decorative arts, and between scholarly and popular culture.

Musée Cantini is located in a historical mansion built in 1694 by the trading company Compagnie du Cap Nègre. Bought by the prominent local art collector and marble supplier, Jules Cantini in 1888, the house and its collection was bequeathed to the city in 1916 to become a museum dedicated to modern art.  The collection covers a vast period from 1900 to 1960, with important pieces of Fauvism, Cubism, Surrealism, Lyrical Abstraction and the Gutaï movement.

Participants: Marc Camille Chaimowicz* (1947, FR), Trinh T.Minh-ha (VN/US/FR) and Lynn Marie Kirby*(US),  Hannah Black (1981, GB), Reena Spaulings
