The Château de Malleret is a historic estate in Médoc. An exceptional family property, the management of Château de Malleret has been handled by the descendants of the founders since 1860, and today, Aymar du Vivier. This art and culture enthusiast has traveled the world, and it is with knowledge and high standards that he now incorporates art into the prestigious property.
A unique estate, always at the forefront of innovation, Château de Malleret produces distinctive and contemporary wines. All stages of the winemaking process have recently been rethought by Paul Bordes, production director, who has dedicated all his expertise and experience to Château de Malleret.
For the second time, the estate is hosting a contemporary art exhibition entrusted to Yoyo Maeght who internationally supports new artists. Working in the cultural and artistic field, Yoyo Maeght, with an extraordinary career straddling the private and public sectors, expresses her passion for modern and contemporary art. Her expertise and desire to promote culture lead her to organize exhibitions for museums and art centers, both in France and abroad.
It is up to the artist Aki Kuroda to invest the walls of the estate's new cellars. He embodies a perpetual avant-garde, an unclassifiable artist whose work unfolds in a multiplicity of forms and mediums. Painting, sculpture, decor, installations, performances, or choreographies: he blurs the lines between disciplines, fusing classical influences and contemporary experiments. He constructs a universe where each element dialogues with the next, where the line becomes rhythm, movement, breath. His visual language, at the crossroads of modern art and contemporary questions, draws as much from art history as from science, literature, or mythology. Marked by vibrant energy and freedom of gesture, his art defies all fixity, evoking a world in perpetual transformation.
