Exhibition at the Palais idéal du facteur Cheval, Hauterives (Drôme), 15 May - 6 November 2022

The work of Jean-Michel Othoniel (1964-) expresses itself poetically through the work of glass and follows in the tradition of the Murano glass masters with whom he collaborates, to create immense ensembles that dialogue with gardens and heritage sites throughout the world.

To celebrate the 110th anniversary of its construction, the Palais idéal du facteur Cheval hosts works by Jean-Michel Othoniel created especially for the occasion.

Inspired by the preparatory drawings of Factor Cheval, Jean-Michel Othoniel's work appeals to the senses and summons the marvellous to bring to life the dream of its creator: that the Palace be animated by water games, fountains and waterfalls.

This exhibition catalogue contains texts by Marie Darrieussecq, Frédéric Legros and Jean-Michel Othoniel and two portfolios of in situ images documenting Jean-Michel Othoniel's interventions in the Palais idéal.
The ensemble is completed by a series of preparatory drawings by the artist created during the conception phase of the exhibition, one of which is reproduced on a leaflet.
