Danh Vo — Go Mo Ni Ma Da
Upcoming
In 6 days: May 24 → August 18
The work of Danh Vo is in fact powerfully political. Neither direct nor confrontational, his practice explores the power games underlying liberal societies, the rules governing those societies, and the fragility of the nation-state idea. His work reveals the complexity of the interchange between peoples in the context of post-colonial society.

Roman Ondak
Past: September 28 → December 16, 2012

Construire, déconstruire, reconstruire: le corps utopique — Kader Attia
Past: May 24 → August 19, 2012
Postulating that the body is the first architecture, Kader Attia articulates his proposal around the idea of repairing and re-apropriation, a recurring theme at the origin of his work. An invocative narration of the body’s utopias and the modernity is created in the projections, objects, collages that mix characters, urban landscapes and vernacular architectures.

Eko Nugroho — Témoin Hybride
Past: January 13 → June 10, 2012
Eko Nugroho criss-crosses Paris like he does in Yogyakarta, the cultural capital of the island of Java. Deeply anchored in the urban environment, his work tranlates the noise and frenzy of the street, the eye-contacts and attitudes in his drawings and patterns : all the means of creation are used to translate these meetings between Indonesia and the West.

Marc Desgrandchamps
Past: May 13 → September 4, 2011
Aisément reconnaissable par ses figures évanescentes, ses objets fragmentés, son espace indéfini, l’œuvre de Marc Desgrandchamps est avant tout une expérience visuelle. Malgré leurs compositions architecturées, les peintures de l’artiste se situent entre opacité, transparence et surimpression…

Haute Culture : General Idea — Une rétrospective, 1969-1994
Past: February 11 → May 29, 2011
Founded in Toronto in 1969 by Felix Partz, Jorge Zontal, and AA Bronson, the trio adopted a generic identity that “freed it from the tyranny of individual genius”. Their complex intermingling of reality and fiction took the form of a scathing, transgressive and often parodic take on art and society.
