From June to September 2023, The Pinault Collection presented the exhibition Forever Sixties at the Couvent des Jacobins. The exhibition shed light on a turning point in the history of contemporary art: the “visual revolution” of the 1960s and its influence on the decades that followed.

The Pinault Collection and Rennes City and Metropole have teamed up once more for a thematic exhibition following the success of Stand up! (2018) and Beyond Colour (2021) at the Couvent des Jacobins.

Forever Sixties showcases over 80 iconic works of art, including pieces never previously shown by the Pinault Collection. The exhibition sheds light on a turning point in the history of contemporary art: the “visual revolution” of the 1960s and its influence on the decades that followed. The exhibition will run from June 10 to September 10 at the Couvent des Jacobins.

The Rennes Museum of Art, La Criée Centre of Contemporary Art and Frac Bretagne have teamed up to host Art is Magic, the first retrospective in France devoted to the British artist Jeremy Deller. Deller has developed an aesthetic since the 1990s that shifts between conceptual, performative, installation and video art, although his subject matter is always rooted in social and political reality. This exhibition, which resonates with Forever Sixties, will be held in three different venues from June 10 to September 17.
