Among the images that have shaped the Western imagination, one continues to stubbornly resurface: the perfect house, the cowboy, the cereal box on the breakfast table, the television always on. In the exhibition Permanent Display, hosted by Templon in Paris, Robin Kid draws on these fragments of American culture to question how collective memories are produced, archived, and transformed into commodities in the age of social media and artificial intelligence. At the center of the exhibition is LIFE, a new series inspired by a line from The Doors' The Unknown Soldier. From that image, in which news, advertising, domestic life, and violence coexist in the same visual flow, a reflection on the way information, entertainment, and consumption now flow seamlessly across the same screens is born. The works transform ordinary cereal boxes into silkscreened aluminum sculptures and juxtapose them with paintings constructed from images already reproduced countless times: commercials, news broadcasts, Westerns, television programs, and digital content. Arranged like products on supermarket shelves, these icons are replicated until they gradually lose their original meaning. Rather than evoking nostalgia, Robin Kid reflects on a prefabricated memory continually recirculated by the culture industry. An autobiographical element runs through the entire project. Growing up in a small Dutch mining town next to an American military base, the artist, as a child, observed, beyond the fence of his house, a neighborhood built for the families of American soldiers. That suburb, inaccessible yet perfectly visible, ended up merging with the images broadcast on television: cowboys, cartoons, sitcoms, and news programs contributed to constructing an imagined America even before it was real. Permanent Display thus establishes a dialogue between the new works and pieces created over the past decade, demonstrating the continuity of a research that uses the icons of mass culture not as simple pop references, but as tools to interrogate the relationship between memory, identity, and the collective imagination.
The Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris presents the first major Paris museum exhibition devoted to Simone Fattal. Around one hundred works trace more than fifty years of artistic practice, where mythology, archaeology, exile and nature come together through ceramics, paintings, collages and books.
A major exhibition dedicated to Gustave Fayet, collector, painter, and patron who helped establish artists such as Gauguin, Cézanne, and Redon. A journey to discover a key figure, yet one who has remained in the shadows for too long, in the birth of modern art.
With Waterfall, Jennifer Guidi presents a new series of paintings at Gagosian Paris inspired by waterfalls, oceans and inner landscapes. Balancing abstraction and contemplation, nature becomes a sensory experience shaped by light, colour and texture.
The Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris presents France's first major exhibition devoted to Kerry James Marshall. Around seventy works, including eight new paintings, trace more than four decades of a career that has reshaped the representation of Black figures in art history.
