Avignon's horrific St. Anne prison was shut down ten years ago; so when the modern art museum needed to close for renovations, they moved a large number of exhibits to the deserted jail cells. Every cell in the prison shows off one or two installations: some funny, some disturbing, some tragic, many moving, and many more boring as hell. In fact I sometimes enjoyed looking at the former prisoners' pin-ups more than the artwork.
And, of course, what museum would be complete without a piece of art consisting of tennis balls stuffed with candies? This one's for you, Doug.
Looks like fun. Wish I were there!
ReplyDeleteLove the photo of the doors, worthy of hanging in a museum too! But the Tennis Pops are hysterical!
