AGORA, La place du musée, 2025

Villa Sauber, Nouveau Musée National de Monaco (NMNM) — 24 Jan – 4 Apr 2025

Curator : Benjamain Laugier 

In Ancient Greece, the term ‘agora’ was both a meeting of citizens and the public space where the meeting took place. Such metonymy is also true of the museum (‘museion’). Originally a sanctuary for the Muses, the goddesses of the arts, the place became named after its inhabitants.

As part of the exhibition “AGORA, the Place of the Museum”, NMNM is converting Villa Sauber’s visitor reception into a pop-up store that sells artists’ objects. It is inviting WE DO NOT WORK ALONE to present its catalogue, the artist Jeanne Moynot to show her project RUBIS SUR L’ONGLE, and other artists AUTOUR DE NOUS whose production is naturally linked to everyday objects.

The pop-up store was commissioned from Ahmad Reshad, a Post-Master’s student at the Pavillon Bosio, École Supérieure d’Arts Plastiques de la Ville de Monaco.
