With twenty masterly works — hours of video on over thirty screens — Bill Viola at the Grand Palais is one of the largest retrospectives of this artist’s work. Viola sees this exhibition as an inner journey, divided into three phases around major metaphysical questions: Who am I? Where am I? Where am I going?

Recently, Xooang Choi’s work has begun to explore explicitly “ordinary” subjects. Although themes of society, collective and cultural structures are important, it is always made up of individual “humans”. Choi sculptures frame the importance of these individual traits examining self-awareness and the inner conflicts of ordinary people.

Antonella Zazzera’s sculpture takes on a universal dimension. It encourages man to find his place in the real world, to renew his dialogue with Nature and so with himself. Our vision no longer limited by knowledge, it transcends and pushes us forward in our quest for understanding and the Absolute.

The exhibition “Op & Post-op Editions” brings together emerging and established artists’ publications and books. The “Op art” movement reunites with geometrical abstraction, in seeking to create optical games and illusory effects which imprint themselves on the retina’s surface.

Always in order to create links between art, territory and society as well as hybrid creations mixing dance, theatre, architecture and cinema — artist Jan Kopp uses different forms of artistic expression without favouring any in particular: installations, performances, films, videos, sculpture, painting and photography.

Eva Meyer Gallery

Pierre Tectin’s creations reveal, beyond their physical form, a reinterpretation of the world, carried by the desire for re-appropriation. As though visual haikus, they emphasise rapidity of execution as well as the patient observation of objects in order to arrive at a furtive interpretation, as faithful as they are removed from the sense’s intentions.

Frédéric Lacroix Gallery

For his third solo exhibition, the painter Olivier Masmonteil advances a little more in his chapter “Le plaisir de peindre”. The artist chooses to take possession of Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres’ paintings and, in particular, some commissioned portraits focused on details of drapery and rendering of materials.

Dukan Gallery

The artists develop and challenge all traditional forms of printmaking by taking the printed form into 3 dimensions or by bringing sculpture back into 2 dimensions using print. The fascinating collection of materials and processes on show include silkscreening on glass and paper, experimental photocopying, rubber stamp printing…

Emblematic of the Latino subculture of Los Angeles prisons, the paños are an exceptional research subject. Boris Santamaria, a Cuban prisoner whose poignant and uncompromising drawings are presented for the first time, cannot totally escape the codes of counter-culture.
