Daniel Buren at the Musée des impressionnismes Giverny, France
—
The Musée des Impressionnismes Giverny has invited Daniel Buren to present a site-specific installation across its galleries and gardens this summer (2026).
With „Plantations, travaux in situ“, Buren presents a new site-specific work, which extends from the gardens outside to the museum’s interior, thereby creating a dialogue between the environment of Giverny and works in the collection. A century after Claude Monet’s death, the artist is building on some of the fundamental intuitions of the Impressionist painters, who were interested in the changing effects of colour and light in nature. But whereas Monet and Caillebotte painted quivering water, landscapes and the sky, Buren locates his works in the very space we move through, making perception a shifting and endlessly renewed phenomenon.
Scattered around the landscapes of Giverny, his Plantations create large coloured vistas – tinged with blue, yellow, black, red and violet – which are inserted into the verdant setting of the hill and gardens, extending into the interiors of the rooms. In the galleries, Buren’s work is displayed alongside a selection of works from the museum’s collection, offering visitors an immersion in nature and artistic creation.
