from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m.: We are going to tell you...

​

It was as civic service volunteers that Louna and Baptiste discovered the Vouland museum.

For several months, they have been actively participating in mediation actions to welcome all audiences, from the youngest to the oldest, designing and producing tools, such as podcasts and videos, which promote the discovery of the 17th and 18th and the collection of Arts of Provence taken out of the reserves.

During spontaneous conversations, they testify to their experience at the museum, their discoveries and favorites and accompany you to encounter objects, materials, details that, without them, you might not notice.

​

​

from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.: In the living room with the chandelier

Let's talk! | Students of the School of Fine Arts of Nîmes

​

Students from the Ecole Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Nîmes invite you to discover their creations, in the living room with the chandelier and throughout the museum.

They tell you what this project at the museum inspired them, and how they chose their means of expression.

They also reveal how they inserted their work into the 17th and 18th century decorative arts collection for games around motifs, shapes, languages, techniques and materials. And perhaps they will share the questions they have had about ornament, adornment and decor.

“Considered as useless, bourgeois and primitive, ornament is, for supporters of modernity, “a survival from the past”, a barbaric archaism that must be eradicated. »

Adolf Loos, Ornament and Crime, 1908

​

from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.: First sketches

Playful roaming carried by 15 amateur/professional actors | "The House is moving" from Home Movie by Suzanne Joubert and other fragments (texts/testimonials)

​

The research and creation project "Outside, our shared heritage"of the Compagnie Mises en scène in Avignon led a group of adult amateurs, mainly women, to the Vouland museum, to discover the exhibitions "Marcel Dumont, Alpilles" including they were the last visitors, then “We come out of our reserve act 2”, and of course the museum of atmosphere which gives the feeling of entering the collector Louis Vouland.

And the Chinese room!

From emotions and testimonies, improvisations and excerpts from texts ranging from Paul Valéry to Jean-Claude Imbert (whose albums are exhibited) via Henri Michaux or Suzanne Joubert, an experience of <<playful roaming », composed of fragments, which put end to end, lead us from observation to creation, between dream and reality.

At 8:30 p.m.: The joys of Saturday

Reading and meeting | Texts from the monthly writing workshop led by Isabelle Ronzier at the Vouland museum

​

"Why does this reflection mean so much to you?..."

The Vouland museum, its atmosphere, its garden throughout the seasons, its armchairs, its sculpted cupboard, its chandeliers, its mirrors, its cast iron radiators, its embossed leather screen, and many other things, shown or hidden, have inspired notebooks since September 2021.

During this night of museums, their authors go from pen to speech. They read their writings to you, echoing the place that inspired them, and thus allow you to broaden your perception of more or less familiar objects.

This reading in the garden is followed by a moment of discussion.

​

​

from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m.: Are we in question?
