The Flood of Rights
2013
INTERVIEW WITH ARTISTS FROM THE 2024 PROGRAM
"That happens only with the greatest artists that every generation not only finds it relevant, but can take something else."
"The idea for us is to create, to link, to be able to participate in those conversations".
"The process of making the work is also the process of discovering the history and what the work will be."
"How do we cope with the studio practice listening to the news these days?"
"A workshop on clay (…) is a kind of experimental device about becoming."
"My first idea was to see if I could create with the smoke and the softening effect that the smoke develops."
"That's a lot of what my career has been. Make a place, for not just women, but for everybody who doesn't fit in."
"We have to acknowledge that the important element of the whole situation is people."
"I'm very interested in surrounding the viewer with imagery and having the viewer (…) become part of the installation."
"I like to do stuff that has never been done before."
"How does one understand colonialism?"
INTERVIEW WITH ARTISTS FROM THE 2023 PROGRAM
Art that tells the story of contemporary society.
"The future (...) is invented with artists from the past."
"When I started this exhibition, I was thinking about the circus of politics, about the craziness that happens around these misconceptions about race that exist in the world, including the art world."
"Arles (…) is physically divided, but also community divided."
"You're not just carrying albums (…) you're carrying people's emotions, that they've conveyed through song."
"The film is about charting the epic of the history of the Earth through what's in a child's bedroom."
"This work is like a real-time self-portrait that is constantly changing over the next six months."
"I wanted to work on a hookah lounge because it's a cultural and political symbol."
"When archives do not exist, what remains to tell suppressed histories?"
"The exhibition is organized around the strict grid of the calendar."
INTERVIEW WITH ARTISTS FROM THE 2022 PROGRAM
When artists look at the world.
Watch all videos
"It takes a lot of energy to be anti-Black, so what is the payoff? Why does society continue to do it?"
"Darkness is, visually speaking, the equivalent of silence, right?"
"I happened to be involved in the independence of Ghana (…) Through this, I saw the world afresh."
"I've been very fascinated by Etel from the very beginning. It was almost like an oracle to meet her."
""Circular Breathing" is a very strict, hardcore divisions of time."
"Afrophon’ is a gathering of independent publishers based on the African continent (...) who are coming to LUMA to engage in questions about art publishing"
"When I first started doing those drawings, I had a residency at the CCA Kitakyushu in Japan."
"This exhibition is a collection where our eyes are constantly deciphering or decoding a landscape."
"I actually started "Everything and More" from a sort of mundane experience. I had gone to see "Interstellar" and "Gravity""
"I'm interested in giving the viewer time to see what is in front of them."
"Through this work, I want to express the complicated and complex aspect of being a native in this country today."
"How are we building that awareness that we aren't separate from the Earth?"
INTERVIEW WITH ARTISTS FROM THE 2021 PROGRAM
The artists of the 2021 program confide in us about their visions of Arles and the region, but also about their works.
"What if I could find every minute in 24 hours ?"
"On the 8th and 9th floors, you can see the surroundings at 360°, the sun moves from morning to evening, and that changes the atmosphere of the space"
"I am always trying to find a space where all the differences can exist together."
"I create virtual landscapes from actual places."
"Artists play a certain role within society."
"For the mosaic, I was very interested in the idea of like a painting facing the sky."
"I don't think I ever wanted to do anything other than become an artist."
"A film can assign meaning to something that is not meaningful."
"It’s like I was always an artist."
"I enjoy working in time, with time and over a long time."
The LUMA project by Maja Hoffmann
The ambition to produce visionary and experimental artistic projects lies at the heart of the LUMA project.
Maja Hoffmann discusses the beginning of LUMA's development and its evolution, unfolding at the same time as her personal connection to Arles, the region of the Camargue, and the cultural and natural context of which LUMA is a part.
