L'impressionnisme français à HK

HK french film festival 2022 classic french best movies


FR : Il y a 150 ans, en avril 1874, Paris accueille la première exposition d'oeuvres d'artistes de ce qui deviendra et sera nommé l’impressionnisme, un événement majeur dans l’histoire de l’art que les spectateurs hongkongais pourront revivre grâce au dispositif de réalité virtuelle (RV) de l'exposition "Tonight with the Impressionists, Paris 1874" proposé au Hong Kong Design Institue (HKDI). Hasard de la programmation dans la ville et signe que cette école a influencé tous les siècles suivants, une autre instiution de la ville, le HKMOA, propose une exposition exceptionnelle sur Cézanne et Renoir : "The Hong Kong Jockey Club Series: Cézanne and Renoir Looking at the World - Masterpieces from the Musée de l’Orangerie and the Musée d’Orsay"

EN : 150 years ago, in April 1874, Paris hosted the first exhibition of works by artists who would come to be known as Impressionists. This was a major event in the history of art that Hong Kong spectators can revisit through the virtual reality (VR) device of the exhibition "Tonight with the Impressionists, Paris 1874," presented at the Hong Kong Design Institute (HKDI). By chance in the city's programming and as a sign that this school has influenced all the following centuries, another institution in the city, the HKMOA, is offering an exceptional exhibition on Cézanne and Renoir: "The Hong Kong Jockey Club Series: Cézanne and Renoir Looking at the World - Masterpieces from the Musée de l’Orangerie and the Musée d’Orsay."


A la galerie de HKDI : une expérience immersive

french may cinema programme guy

"Ce soir avec les Impressionnistes, Paris 1874 – une expérience RV" se tient à la Galerie du HKDI (Hong Kong Design Institute) de janvier à mai 2025. Cette exposition innovante bénéficie du soutien du Musée d'Orsay comme garant de son authenticité historique. L'expérience repose sur trois piliers : connaissance, émotion et expérience corporelle. Le récit est guidé par un personnage fictif, nommé Rose, qui accompagne le public dans des lieux emblématiques, comme le studio de Nadar ou l'atelier de Monet.
La technologie RV permet une immersion totale, où le public interagit avec l'art et l'histoire. Les concepteurs insistent sur l'importance de l’environnement sonore qui enrichit l'expérience et souligne que les participations actives sont favorisées. L'exposition vise à transformer la manière dont nous interagissons avec l'art, en permettant une exploration libre.
Les concepteurs de l’exposition analysent également le comportement du public pour améliorer les futures expositions : selon eux, la technologie RV évolue rapidement, rendant les récits plus dynamiques et personnalisés. 

"Ce soir avec les Impressionnistes" représente une fusion de technologie, de narration et de durabilité, tout en honorant l'héritage des impressionnistes et en ouvrant la voie à de nouvelles formes d'engagement culturel.


Cette exposition met à l'honneur également un savoir-faire français dans la mise en place de ce genre d'exposition : elle est organisée par Excurio.
Avec leurs "Immersive Expeditions", l'agence Excurio (fondée par Emmanuel Guerriero et Fabien Barati) propose un format d'expérience unique : des aventures de réalité virtuelle palpitantes à vivre par de grandes foules de personnes dans de grands espaces, alliant expérience artistique, connaissances et intrigues excitantes. "Horizon de Khéops", "Notre-Dame Éternelle", "Chroniques de la Vie", "Ce Soir avec les Impressionnistes Paris 1874"…
Les productions d'Excurio ont déjà attiré plus d'un million de visiteurs, de Shanghai à Montréal en passant par Paris, dans des institutions culturelles prestigieuses et un réseau de lieux dédiés.

Au HKMOA : Cézanne et Renoir à l'honneur





Plus d'info - HKMOA Plus d'info - HKMOA

L'exposition "The Hong Kong Jockey Club Series: Cézanne and Renoir Looking at the World - Masterpieces from the Musée de l’Orangerie and the Musée d’Orsay" se tient au Hong Kong Museum of Art (HKMoA) à partir du 17 janvier. Elle présente 52 œuvres emblématiques des deux célèbres musées parisiens, marquant la première grande exposition à Hong Kong consacrée à Cézanne et Renoir.
Le HKMoA propose un volet éducatif inspiré d'une plateforme de train française et a invité deux artistes de Hong Kong, Trevor Yeung et Lai Kwan-ting, à créer des œuvres inspirées des maîtres. L'exposition se déroule du 17 janvier au 7 mai.
Des programmes spéciaux, incluant des conférences et des ateliers, accompagnent l'exposition.

L'utilisation de la lumière et des ombres par Renoir dans ses œuvres a joué un rôle clé dans le développement de l'impressionnisme. La théorie artistique de Cézanne, quant à elle, a jeté les bases du développement de divers styles artistiques au XXe siècle, ouvrant une nouvelle ère dans l'art moderne. Cinquante et un des 52 objets exposés font leurs débuts à Hong Kong, y compris des natures mortes avec des fruits et des fleurs, des paysages, des portraits et des tableaux de baigneurs. Les œuvres exposées témoignent des remarquables réalisations artistiques de Cézanne et Renoir, mettant en lumière les intersections de leurs carrières.

Les œuvres phares comprennent "Pommes et biscuits", "Nature morte avec soupière" et "Paysage avec toit rouge (Le Pin à l'Estaque)" de Cézanne, ainsi que "Claude Renoir en costume de clown", "Nu dans un paysage" et "Bouquet dans une loge de théâtre" de Renoir. L'exposition présente également deux œuvres inestimables, "Grande Nature morte" et "Grand Nu avec draperie", de l'artiste espagnol Pablo Picasso, pour démontrer comment l'innovation des deux impressionnistes a inspiré la génération suivante de grands maîtres
