The Maeght Foundation proposes an exhibit event of Greek sculptor Takis with new pieces about architecture and collections of this magical site. Born in 1925 in Athens where he lives and still works, the work of this artist is one of a kind and consist of exploring non material energies like magnetism, sound, lights and atmospheric forces.

With the new director of the Foundation, Michel Enrici and in accordance with the Maeght family, the foundation will find its original vocation by presenting pieces of living artists during spring and autumn expositions. Until June, the garden and the different patios and the Giacometti square are taken over by Takis’ pieces while 10 musical sculptors invaded the main room are in competition with two magnetic pieces “The Brain” sitting in silence. Wind-driven signals, features of the work of the artist, strange levitation of large cones and cylinders, attracted by white walls, rectangular musical pieces, higher (4 meters) than wide (1 meter), trigger primitive sounds, reminding you of the exclusive rhythm of the present.

Next autumn you will find particular portraits of Yan Pei Ming, while the event of the summer will be dedicated to Barcelona artists, from Miro to Tapiès, whose work is linked to the Maeght family, to contemporary artists living in a democracy in the Catalan capital.
