In 2014, Julien de Casabianca, a French artist and filmmaker, conspired to release some of the world’s great art, typically locked away within museums, into urban settings. His global Outings project, now in more than 70 locations world-wide, is a multi-step experience. First, he isolates figures from historical works of art, then prints them large scale and installs them in urban settings, and finally photographs the new composition. In conjunction with Jacksonville Outings, the Cummer Museum presents a sampling of Mr. de Casabianca’s photographs from his Lyon, New York, Paris, San Francisco, and Warsaw installations.
