Founded by the Barabani brothers, MO11 was created with a clear ambition: to introduce a rigorous, international curatorial program to Cannes that helps redefine the city’s contemporary art scene. The gallery’s mission focuses on supporting carefully selected emerging and mid-career artists, fostering their long-term development and creating a space for dialogue, experimentation, and critical exchange beyond purely commercial frameworks. From this perspective, MO11 is conceived not only as an exhibition venue, but as a meeting point where relationships between artists, collectors, and institutions are forged.

Alongside this main axis, the gallery places special emphasis on major modern masters and on a carefully curated selection of graphic works by artists who shaped the cultural imagination of the Côte d’Azur. Figures such as Picasso, Matisse, Miró, and Chagall, among others, form part of an artistic heritage that continues to engage in dialogue with contemporary creation, and whose presence at MO11 reinforces the historical dimension of the project.
