ABOUT
TERRA is a site-specific art exhibition organized in the UNESCO World Heritage vineyards of Burgundy, combining art and wine. Organized by Jenn Ellis (Apsara Studio), Emie Diamond and produced by Milena Berman (Hautes Côtes), TERRA presents multidisciplinary works by emerging and established artists. Installed in historic châteaux, convents, theaters and hotel particular, the exhibition explores the concept of terroir, reflecting the relationship between art, place and history. Visitors are taken on a sensory journey through painting, sculpture, ceramics and installations in and around Beaune's medieval heritage.
