On 19 June 2026, AD France published a dedicated feature on The Absurd and the Dreamlike, the exhibition curated by Selcan Atılgan at La Citadelle – Centre d’Art & Musée in Villefranche-sur-Mer. Written by Nicolas Milon and titled Les artistes Arne Quinze et Joana Vasconcelos investissent La Citadelle de Villefranche-sur-Mer, the article explores the encounter between the distinct artistic practices of Arne Quinze and Joana Vasconcelos within the historic architecture of La Citadelle.

The feature presents the exhibition as a dialogue between monumentality, colour, materiality and place, while also highlighting the poetic influence of Jean Cocteau and the unique cultural context of the French Riviera. Selcan Atılgan is acknowledged as curator of the exhibition and Founder of ARTSA, reflecting the curatorial vision behind the project and ARTSA’s role in shaping its artistic and institutional framework.
