Michelangelo Pistoletto will deliver three “Artist Lectures” at the Louvre in Paris
The Louvre is starting a cycle of "Leçon d'artiste", which will bring different exponents of contemporary art to hold conferences to talk about their vision of the French museum. For the first edition of the initiative, the protagonist will be Michelangelo Pistoletto: at the Michel Laclotte auditorium, on three separate occasions between 27 April and 11 May 2023, the artist will be building connections between certain aspects of his work (the mirror painting), his thinking (the notion of archipelago) and the Louvre's collections and the way in which the museum institution can be imagined today.
