Straddle the line between form and function

"The artists taking part in this group exhibition blur the boundaries between form and function, they act with transformations which rather than “metamorphosing banality” regress to the objects’ banality and to their power to mobilize and generate worlds.

Extension du domaine du jeu — Le Nouveau festival

Whether it be to do with games of language, society, strategy or video games, they all have in common the fact that they are structured by rules. This initiative brings together artists from fine art, performers and designers who perceive game rules as a catalyst or structure able to generate new playful forms in contemporary creation.

Cesar Del Valle — Portraits

For Cesar del Valle, a drawn object doesn’t exist. It’s a graphical work and nothing more. Yet the public who look upon this drawing will readily see beyond a simple mark of the pencil: they see an object, a person, perhaps a story that they are ready to follow.

Céleste Boursier-Mougenot — acquaalta

Céleste Boursier-Mougenot creates a lakeside landscape which leads visitors into an experience, at once tactile, visual and auditory, which changes their perception of the space. As they move across this flooded space, visitors enter a stream of images which set the scene for an imaginary journey, a voyage through their own psyche.

Korakrit Arunanondchai — Painting with history in a room full of people with funny names III

Palais de Tokyo invited Thai artist Korakrit Arunanondchai to design, for the first time in France, a total environment which will bring together a collection of works. Inspired by his travels between New York and Bangkok, his work immerses the viewer in a kitschy syncretism, fusing religions, popular music and icons from mass consumption.

Mona Hatoum

Mona Hatoum’s work dialogues, in an original and exemplary manner, with the major disciplines and movements of contemporary art — performance, video, Kinetic art, Minimalism and Conceptual art — and even makes a nod to Surrealism. The multidisciplinarity informs all of her work : no material, no medium, no art field is foreign to her.

Through a selection of some 50 works (drawings,paintings and sculptures) the exhibition examine the career of this major figure in abstract art, focussing in particularon the genesis and development of his Tableaux-reliefs or “Relief Paintings”.
