Marcel Alocco invite....

Christian Depardieu gave carte blanche to Marcel Alocco to exhibite with artists of his choice. French born, he is one of the most famous pioners of the Ecole de Nice, chose a simple french italien exchange. At the ground floor you'll discover 6 artists with strong differences of structure and material at first site.
Through textile, manufacturing, sewing and weaving (Maria Colonna, Sophie Losson, Marcel Alocco) as well as heavy material, colored paste, plaster and armed concrete (Michèle Brondello, Martin Miguel) or even around the question of thruth and lies of an object, with the act of stimulated restauration or brutal denial, William Xerra writes « Io mento ».

These six artists are the abstarction of the successicve layers of Marcel Alocco's work in his personal history and background. In the basement we can see young artists trained in varous disciplines at the Academy of Milan, establishing the groupe « Coccodrilli a Manovella » created by Piacenza (Italy).

The «Coccodrilli a Manovella » have been working for three years on evolving instalations indoor and outdoors. The three stages of « Hortus » made in Italy in 2007 and 2008 will succeed in Nice, an exhibition centered on the theme of the mysterious tranformation of the chrysalis.
