Open Air: Sound Solstice

This approach stems from a desire to celebrate the unique character of the Foundation, an emblematic site of optical and kinetic art, while extending Vasarely's legacy through contemporary artistic forms. The international dimension, fostered by the invitation of Hungarian artists and the collaboration with the Liszt Institute, resonates with Vasarely's nationality and the twinning of Aachen and Pécs.

PAREA is an association working to make electronic music and contemporary art forms more accessible by organizing inclusive events in the South of France, in close collaboration with the City of Aix-en-Provence. The association has notably coordinated several editions of the electronic music stage at the Fête de la Musique (Music Festival) in Place des Prêcheurs, evenings at the Pavillon Vendôme as part of the 2024 Biennale (bringing together over 1,000 people), open-air events in Aix-La Duranne, the Nuit des Étudiants (Student Night) at the Musée Granet, as well as workshops for young audiences and DJing workshops in partnership with community centers and youth centers. PAREA also initiated the first edition of the Basses Fréquences festival, held in several iconic locations in Aix-en-Provence. Its projects celebrate local heritage and local artists through primarily electronic, multidisciplinary programming committed to an artistic and responsible approach.
