Galerie Jousse Entreprise is pleased to announce a new group exhibition featuring Ange Leccia at the Polaris art center in the town of Istres, France.

The exhibition invites visitors to journey into the heart of a space unique in the world: the Mediterranean. A sea of ​​passage and encounters, it has connected civilizations, cultures, and collective imaginations for millennia. Around twenty artists—including Ange Leccia (courtesy of the Frac Occitanie Montpellier collection)—have come together, united by a shared fascination with this cradle of civilizations. The exhibition spans from the open sea to the islands, delving into both terrestrial and marine depths to explore a mosaic of identities.
