I Am Hymns of the New Temples is a site-specific exhibition that entirely transforms La Grande Halle of LUMA Arles into an immersive experience that blurs the lines between the metaphysical and the real. The site of ancient Pompeii, the legendary city that was buried under ash and volcanic debris for centuries, is at the center of his display. Its outstanding state of conservation offers a fascinating record of the diversity of cultures that shaped its unique identity, at the crossroads of civilizations and trade routes. Intertwining history, stories and contemporary narratives, Shawky reinterprets the ancient Greek myth of creation, through a spectacular choreography of movement, images and sounds, alongside unique sculptural and painterly elements, reflecting on the human need to understand and make sense of the world.

In 2005, Marina Abramović re-performed seven iconic performance artworks, including Joseph Beuys’s How to Explain Pictures to a Dead Hare, with full permission and documentation. This material now informs ongoing research at the Joseph Beuys Archive and Museum Schloss Moyland, in collaboration with the Marina Abramović Institute (MAI). Building on this, a group of international artists will create new, site-specific, long-duration performances at the museum to reactivate its Beuys collection. For the first time, MAI will co-organise a month-long residency at Schloss Moyland, where artists will develop performances inspired by their on-site archival research, challenging traditional museum practices in favour of experimental approaches.
