The Modern Art Gallery Àcentmètresducentredumonde is situated next to Perpignan train station, the emblematic location of Dali’s universe, and opened its doors to the public in June 2004. Born out of an entirely private initiative and managed by a non profit-marking association (under the 1901 law n°0662013669), this imposing gallery, whose surface area totals 1400m² of exhibition space, is one of the largest art galleries in the Languedoc-Roussillon region.
The main aim of Àcentmètresducentredumonde is to display artist from extremely diverse horizons, emanating from the local, national and international scene, through both individual and group exhibitions. It does not limit itself to any particular conceptual approach, but more so manifests an interest for varied forms of art such as sculpture, paiting, desing, video installation, sound and performance, etc.
The only ambition of our association is to promote, reveal and exhibit exceptional works of modern art carried out by emerging artists.
The gallery wishes to create friendly, stimulating and educational environment for the public through a series of exhibitions and artistic events including conferences, workshops, concerts, projections and catalogue and book presentations.
(Àcentmètresducentredumonde = Onehundredmetresfromthecentreoftheworld : Dali famously stated that Perpignan train station was the centre of the world, hence the gallery’s name.)
