Art installations at the Matmut Contemporary Art Center park - Daniel Havis

Works by Elparo and Flo Arnold

In June 2025, Matmut for the arts is launching its first call for creation to envision the artistic programming of the art center park for 2027. Two original works, specially designed for the site, will be installed there and will interact with the landscape.

In the park's plain, land artist Elparo proposes a monumental installation evoking the silhouette of a boat unfolded in the form of an origami, nearly 80 meters long. Associated with the celebration of the birth of William the Conqueror, a key figure in Norman expansion, this work makes the ship a symbol of great epic journeys, exploration, and departure into the unknown.

In the park's cart shed, The Epic of Mora by visual artist Flo Arnold presents a luminous installation featuring a ship made of Japanese paper. Backlit and seeming to spill onto the ground like a flow of light, the work evokes both the power of the ship and the fragility of the journey, a symbol of the quest for a new world often thwarted by the forces of nature.
