Jan Fabre. Spiritual Guards
ADVERTISEMENTWhere: Florence, Italy – Palazzo Vecchio and Piazza della Signoria
When: Until October 2, 2016
“Spiritual Guards” is an exhibition in Florence by Belgian contemporary and provocative artist Jan Fabre. It features roughly 100 of his works dating from 1978 to 2016, including bronze and wax sculptures, and two monumental sculptures on Piazza della Signoria. Palazzo Vecchio is also showcasing a series of Fabre’s sculptures coated in beetle shells. The “guards” in the title of the exhibition in fact refer to Fabre’s army of bronze beetles.

The Douanier Rousseau. Archaic Candour
Where: Paris, France – Musée d’Orsay
