Dunkerque Opalenews event
The LAAC Talks in Dunkirk, on September 26, 2026, starting at 4:00 p.m., invite art enthusiasts and patrons to discover what drives the creation of a collection. On the agenda: a discussion on selection criteria—balancing comprehensiveness with personal preference—and a reflection on the tensions between financial ambitions and artistic values. This will be a practical forum for exchange, where each participant can share their experiences and reflect on their own motivations.

Lecture From the Bay of Somme to the English Channel, from the North Sea to familiar shores, Alfred Manessier never stopped traveling and marveling, in search of that northern light he described as “total.” A lecture by Anne Jouveau exploring this careful pursuit of nuance, the fleeting, and the timeless—at the heart of his work.
