SCULPTURES PARK
MINIMO is also celebrating a selection of internationally renowned sculptors including Vassilakis Takis, Agustin Cardenas, Bernar Venet... These sculptures will be installed in the middle of the vineyards and the park of the Château Saint-MaurThe sculptures play with gravity, weight and balance by accumulating various materials and irregularly arranged forms. These monumental sculptures enter into a direct relationship with the space and are erected on the many interior and exterior spaces of the Château Saint-Maur. These works are imbued with the primary qualities of materialsThe instability and irregularity of the material is the result of the fact that it is not always easy to find the right material for the job. The instability and irregularity of these sculptures punctuate the liberated matrices of their geometric structure. The complexity of their structures defies physics and human apprehension posing new hypotheses at the heart of human perception and artistic understanding.
MINIMO is a unique opportunity to celebrate artists who have left their mark on the history of art and to present them in the unique space of the Château Saint-Maur cellar.
