Frac des Pays de la Loire presents Mediterranean-themed summer shows by Alex Ayed and Lito Kattou
The Frac des Pays de la Loire is featuring two summer exhibitions that focus on the Mediterranean as a vibrant area between desert and abyss. French-Tunisian artist Alex Ayed showcases 'Totano,' a project that honors a commitment to a Sicilian fisherman, delving into the ocean's depths where he navigates and creates. Meanwhile, Cypriot artist Lito Kattou exhibits 'Soothsayers,' which includes three sizable sculptures and a video that responds in real time to temperature changes in Cyprus, prompting contemplation about environmental futures. These exhibitions will be available throughout the summer.
