Jan Fabre at the Hermitage follows the artist as he organizes his big exhibition in the renowned State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg. It is a very big deal, because there is a lot involved in putting on such a large-scale exhibition. In addition, there is the sometimes difficult relationship between a quirky Fabre and an old museum. It is fascinating to see the famous artist at work. A side note for the fans: the exhibition in Russia runs until the end of April 2017.
