00:30Welcome to Mediain TV, it's D'Arc and the questions in this La France chronicle and direction.
00:43Two immersive exhibitions devoted to the works of Claude Monet and the clerk Rousseau
00:50open their doors in an old quarry in the south of France, transformed into a digital art centre.
00:57To see these works, which we are not used to seeing, to bring them together, to make them dialogue with each other,
01:03is something that is only possible through immersion.
01:07The period of Impressionism is full of upheavals.
01:10Cities are transforming, the railway allows to travel the bridges in metal,
01:15reface the landscape, the smoke of locomotives and the fog of factories are invading space,
01:21Japanese prints are arriving in Europe.
01:23So many transformations that can be found in Monet's paintings,
01:27which go beyond academic codes to free painting.
01:30In a place of history, the works of Claude Monet and Henri Rousseau
01:36bring back to life Impressionism and the naïve art of the 10th and 20th centuries.
01:41Let's listen to Nicolas Charlin, the artistic director responsible for the immersive exhibition devoted to Monet.
01:50So we are in an old quarry of stone, with high ceilings that can go up to 15 meters,
01:57a lot of roughness on the walls and a beige color that can sometimes make the video complex.
02:04So I would say that the key to create an immersive exhibition in this place
02:09is not to try to fight against it, but rather to marry it,
02:12to come and play with all the constraints it offers us,
02:15to really try to recreate the most beautiful immersion possible.
02:18The chance we have with immersive exhibitions is that it allows us to bring together works of Monet
02:25that are scattered all over the world.
02:27Monet was a bit of a victim of its success and today these paintings are found on all continents,
02:33even some in private collections that are not accessible to the public.
02:37And today, coming to discover them in the quarry of light,
02:39it allows us to see these works that we cannot or are not used to seeing,
02:44to bring them together and make them dialogue with each other.
02:47And this is something that is only possible through immersion.
02:52With Audace, the artistic director Nicolas Charlin also plays with the touch of Monet
02:57to pulverize colors, quarries, lights, to the joyful, light explosion of the Nymphéas.
03:04And at the same time, the program runs and is therefore dedicated to the customs officer Rousseau
03:08for a dreamlike journey through the work of the naïve painter
03:12who never left the Garden of Plants in Paris to create a whole world.
03:16One is a master of thought, of impressionism, the other of naïve art,
03:21and both carry in their universe.
03:23The customs officer Rousseau was called Henri Rousseau and he was not destined to become a painter.
03:28Here, from a modest family, he studied law before occupying a second-class commis post.
03:34He controls the entry of food goods into the services of the Oc-3 in Paris.
03:39This profession will therefore be worthy of his nickname of customs officer.
03:43He was a member of the 40-year-old painting department, passed and did not know success until he heard about it.
03:49Virginie Martin is the artistic director in charge of the immersive exhibition dedicated to Henri Rousseau.
03:57Nature is invading and in his works it is very important, it is very, very large in relation to these subjects.
04:03And when we are here, in this space with these large walls,
04:06we have even more this feeling of being in Rousseau's work.
04:09Here we show about a hundred of Rousseau's works out of 123, I think he painted.
04:14So we still have time to appreciate the globality of what he painted.
04:18And music to finish and The Weeknd, who creates the event with his new album Hurry Up Tomorrow,
04:25which marks an explosive start in streaming with 58 million listens in one day.
04:31The return of The Weeknd with his sixth album Hurry Up Tomorrow shakes the world of pop.
04:37It must be said that the Canadian artist has become, in the space of 10 years, one of the most popular singers on the planet.
04:43First artist to have 25 songs above 1 billion streams.
04:49The Weeknd currently holds the biggest hit in the history of Spotify, Blinding Lights, which accounts for 4.68 billion listens.
05:00And before the arrival of a film to the cinema, the singer begins the end of his alter ego in his new music video Open Heart.
05:07We obviously watch this excerpt.
05:29Open Heart.
06:00Open Heart.
