Climate Life - Intimate Stories from Private Collections

Since 2004, the Association for the International Diffusion of French Art (ADIAF) has organized a triennial exhibition entitled "De leur temps", showcasing a selection of recent acquisitions by the association's members.

Demonstrating the commitment of private collectors to contemporary artistic creation, this exhibition presents an overview of the research conducted by passionate individuals with diverse sensibilities. Following exhibitions in Tourcoing (Museum of Fine Arts, 2004), Grenoble (Museum of Fine Arts, 2007), Strasbourg (Museum of Contemporary Art, 2010), Nantes (Hangar à bananes, 2013), Villeurbanne (IAC, 2016), Avignon (Lambert Collection, 2020), and Dunkirk (Frac Grand Large, 2023), the MAC in Marseille will host the eighth edition of this triennial in 2026.
