Conceived 10 years ago by Jean-Gabriel Mitterrand and his son Edward, Domaine du Muy is a private park dedicated to monumental sculpture nestled in a wild landscape between the Maures and Esterel massifs. On the occasion of this first collaboration, Esther Schipper will present major sculptures by Martin Boyce, Angela Bulloch, Ann Veronica Janssens Julia ScherBlue Glass Roll and in the Sculpture Park.

Ann Veronica Janssens’ 405/2 (2019) consists of a cylinder of blue cast glass. The work evokes the notions of movement and time. By looking at it closely, one can perceive small nebulae of air bubbles trapped inside the cast glass. These ethereal traces attest to an ephemeral moment that occurred during the fabrication of the piece. During the long cooling process of the glass roll, the air present in the material attempts to expand and escape and creates bubbles that remain trapped in the body of the sculpture.
