Daniel Buren Invited to Occupy the Musée des Impressionnismes Giverny in Summer 2026
The Musée des Impressionnismes Giverny will invite Daniel Buren to occupy its spaces from July 17 to November 1, 2026, in a project framed by the centenary of Claude Monet’s death. Titled “Invitation à Daniel Buren. Plantations : travaux in situ, 2026,” the exhibition examines shared interests in place, light, color and the spectator’s experience, including Buren’s references to Monet’s series and “Nymphéas.” Buren’s alternating white and colored stripes function as a visual tool for revealing a site, while Monet’s practice emphasizes gesture and the materiality of paint.
Kazuyoshi Nomachi has become the first Japanese recipient of the HIPA International Photography Award. The Kiyosato Museum of Photographic Arts holds “Sahara,” photographed by Nomachi when he was 25. His relationship with the museum also extends to its Young Portfolio program, which supports young photographers: in the 2003 selection, Nomachi served on the committee alongside Nobuyoshi Araki and Eikoh Hosoe, the museum’s first director.
Milan’s Museo della Permanente will host the 25th Premio Cairo ceremony on October 12, followed by a free public exhibition from October 13 to 18. The competition brings together 20 artists under 40, each presenting a previously unpublished work judged by a jury chaired by Bruno Corà. The winner will receive €25,000, and the work will enter the Premio Cairo collection. The programme also includes a career prize for Nino Migliori and 14 self-portraits made in the 1980s for Bolaffi Arte, later renamed ARTE.
