In broad Moonlight / Au grand jour

1st February – 3rd May 2026

In collaboration with the Triangle Astérides art centre in Marseille, the Lambert Collection invites the Polish artist to create a large installation covering the entire first floor of the Hôtel de Montfaucon as part of her first solo exhibition in an institution in France. Designed in two parts, a pre-existing collection of works will be presented for the first time in France, and new works will be produced in each of the art centres.

After training in New York and then Paris, Agata Ingarden divides her time between France and Greece. In Avignon, she will display the full diversity of her visual research, which draws on both great mythical narratives and science fiction to fuel monumental installations. Her work draws on post-apocalyptic, alchemical and poetic imagery, constructing visual narratives where the living and the technological merge.

Agata Ingarden invites the gaze to infiltrate everywhere, pushing to its climax a regime of images that are now in constant flux. In broad daylight, for all to see. The viewer’s gaze slides over the reflections of the blue industrial windows reused in the Incorporate Elevator series, passing through the blown glass of the Ermites – sculptures representing empty hermitages, refuges that not only fail to protect but, even more so, expose, in both senses of the word, since their expanding windows have taken up all the space.

Agata Ingarden has exhibited at institutions such as the Palais de Tokyo (Paris), the Frac Île-de-France, the Mo. Co Contemporain (Montpellier), the Künstlerhaus (Vienna), the CAPC (Bordeaux), the Centro de Cultura Digital (Mexico City), and the Pinchuk Art Centre in Kiev, where she received a Special Prize at the Future Generation Art Prize (2021).
