“LET’S CELEBRATE THE CLOSING”
The legendary Cannes Croisette, surrounded by palaces, offers a prestigious setting : La Malmaison, transformed into a contemporary art center celebrating art in all its forms, combining boldness and modernity.
Internationally renowned French sculptor Jean-Michel Othoniel is taking over La Malmaison with an exhibition entitled “Stardust”.
A tribute to the contemplative power of glass, the exhibition explores the interplay of light, material, and scale. Inspired by nature, the artist creates a series of sculptures that, in a movement between mathematical precision and poetic delicacy, captivate the eye and mind.
After this tour, we will gather on the terrace at Café Olympe to contemplate the Bay of Cannes, the Mediterranean, and the sunset. Over a nightcap, we will celebrate the end of the ICMART 2025 conference.
