Le Grand Tour
JW PROJECTS presents LE GRAND TOUR, curated by Clémentine de Forton Gallery and Marina Oechsner de Coninck, presented as part of the French Embassy in Singapore’s vOilah! Festival.
Originating between the 17th and 19th centuries, the Grand Tour shaped ways of seeing through art, travel, and collected objects. It was a formative journey of perception and self-transformation.
Reimagined from Singapore — a crossroads of cultures — this exhibition presents the Grand Tour as an ongoing, global experience shaped by movement, memory, and encounter.
Rather than depicting places, the artists evoke what lingers: traces of sensation, material, and myth. Nicolas Lefeuvre, Séverine de la Chapelle, Emi Avora, and Hélène Le Chatelier create shifting spaces where perception unsettles the familiar, turning the journey into a continuous process of becoming.
