Jean-Michel OTHONIEL

The dream of water

May 15 - November 22, 2022
Palais Ideal du Facteur Cheval - Hauterives, France

To celebrate the 110th anniversary of its construction, Postman Cheval’s Ideal Palace is pleased to host the exhibition The Dream of Water. Specially conceived for this unique place by artist Jean-Michel Othoniel, the exhibition will be held in the garden and, for the first time, within the palace itself. Inspired by the preparatory drawings of Postman Cheval, Jean-Michel Othoniel’s work appeals to the senses and summons the marvelous to bring Postman Cheval’s dream to life: to animate the Palace with water games, fountains, and waterfalls.
