This year, on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of Carré d’art the Musée de la Romanité explores the link between Antiquity and art by presenting the work of Oliver Laric. Some of the often fragmentary works in the collections are “re-sculpted” using digital techniques, to reinterpret them in a way that is both respectful of the original and resolutely contemporary.
Bringing digital art and archaeology together, this exhibition highlights the appeal of Greco- Roman antiquity for today’s artists and enshrines the concept of a universal ancient heritage that is accessible to all.

Conference

To mark the opening of the exhibition “Living Memory. Oliver Laric”, Oliver Laric will talk about its concept and especially the complexities associated with the process of digitising the works, but also their use and dissemination in a setting that goes beyond traditional exhibition spaces and museum audiences. With Cécile Carrier, he will also discuss the choice of pieces and the research work carried out alongside them, before discussing the legal issues surrounding digital heritage and the idea of copyright, which has become very important since the advent of social networks.

Friday, 21 April – 6:30pm

By Oliver LARIC, contemporary artist, with contributions from Cécile CARRIER, co-curator of
the exhibition, a specialist in sculpture and the iconography of Roman antiquity (Musée de la Romanité)
