The Art of Horsemanship: see Colorado Jumping Tour Summe 3.

 I applaud the hours of practice, the breeding care and artful form of the Jumpers. Some of the most exquisite photos in sport reveal the style and grace of the horseman  and rider as one.

ABDELKADER BENCHAMMA     VILLA ALBERTINE COMMISSIONS ABDELKADER BENCHAMMA TO REIMAGINE THE CEILING OF ITS BALLROOM

PAYNE WHITNEY MANSION, VILLA ALBERTINE, NEW YORK SEPTEMBER, 2026

Abdelkader Benchamma’s monumental project has been selected to transform the ceiling of Villa Albertine’s Ballroom, at the heart of one of New York’s most significant cultural landmarks.   Villa Albertine, the French Institute for Culture and Education within the French Embassy in the United States, is delighted to announce the selection of Abdelkader Benchamma to create a monumental work for the ceiling of its Ballroom, one of the most emblematic spaces within the Payne Whitney Mansion, home to Villa Albertine in New York, which hosts numerous cultural, intellectual and diplomatic events.   This project reflects Villa Albertine’s commitment to preserving and reactivating historic spaces through contemporary creation and the free movement of ideas. By commissioning a leading living artist to transform the Ballroom ceiling, Villa Albertine continues its broader effort to reimagine the Payne Whitney Mansion while honoring its architectural legacy.

« Stella Terrea is a vast mural in perpetual motion. It is dynamic in its very making, created in situ, in dialogue with the scale and tensions of the space, yet seemingly still through the delicacy of its execution: an invitation towards contemplation.   Its title refers to a mysterious substance sometimes reported after meteorite falls. Known as “star jelly,” astromyxin, or stella terrae (“star of the earth”), it is surrounded by myths and contradictory interpretations, as though the celestial realm could never be fully defined, explained, or contained. From this idea emerges the installation: to reintroduce a poetic force into the sky at a time when outer space is increasingly becoming a territory to control, exploit, and colonize.   The project will re-enchant the Ballroom ceiling by drawing upon imaginaries rooted in the history of celestial and cosmological representations, from painted ceilings to star charts. It engages in particular with the Nebra Sky Disk (c. 1600 BCE), one of the oldest known depictions of the heavens, and the Dunhuang Star Atlas (7th century), which records more than 1,300 stars.   At its core, the mural tells an essential story: humanity’s relationship with the sky, shaped by observation, knowledge, and imaginative narratives. It situates itself within a long continuum of ways of representing the cosmos while offering a contemporary interpretation of that legacy. Ultimately, it is an act of survival and continuity: that of a humanity that continues to observe, interpret, and project itself toward the heavens. » — Abdelkader Benchamma

Selected figurative elements will be created in conjunction collaboration with American artist Raymond Pettibon, continuing the series of collaborative drawings the two artists have developed together since 2019. This unprecedented partnership anchors the project within a unique Franco-American artistic dialogue.   The Ballroom ceiling commission represents a new chapter in the ongoing transformation of Villa Albertine’s historic headquarters. The Ballroom, a majestic reception space overlooking Fifth Avenue, is the beating heart of the institution, hosting major artistic, intellectual, and diplomatic events each year. Following landmark projects including the Atelier by designer Hugo Toro and Albertine bookstore by designer Jacques Garcia, this initiative furthers Villa Albertine’s commitment to bringing contemporary creation into dialogue with architectural heritage.   Villa Albertine will unveil this significant commission in September 2026. The project further advances Villa Albertine’s mission to foster dialogue and exchange between the United States, France, and the French-speaking world through contemporary creation.   This commission has been made possible through the exceptional support of the Sisley-d’Ornano Foundation, with additional support from French Heritage Society’s New York Chapter and Ann and Bill Van Ness.   The project was developed in close collaboration with the Centre national des arts plastiques (CNAP), a leading institution for contemporary public commissions and international artistic competitions. The competition received 225 submissions, demonstrating the vitality and diversity of contemporary French creation.     — Villa Albertine.         Au bord des mondes, Le Prix Marcel Duchamp, Centre Pompidou, Paris, 2024.
