The Light That Shines is a captivating exhibition that explores the relationship between nature and culture through the lens of Damien Hirsts art. The exhibition, which will be held from 2 March 2024 to 23 June 2024, will take place across the entire 500-acre estate of Château La Coste in Provence, France, and its five exhibition pavilions, each designed by renowned architects such as Renzo Piano, Richard Rogers, and Oscar Niemeyer. The exhibition will showcase a wide range of Hirsts artworks, from his iconic formaldehyde sculptures to never-before-seen pieces, including the sculptures of "Meteorites" and "Satellites" and the "Cosmos Paintings," all inspired by his encounter with space during the Beagle 2 mission to Mars in 2003. The exhibition will be accompanied by a stunning catalogue, which will be encased within an illustrated French-fold jacket. The catalogue will feature meticulously reproduced images of the artworks, with their images extending into the gatefolds, and will be prefaced by an introductory essay by Ellen Mara De Wachter, who offers insightful commentary on the complexity and vastness of Hirsts career. The Light That Shines is a must-see exhibition for anyone interested in art, nature, and culture, and it promises to be a memorable and thought-provoking experience.
