Art Brut works, often created on the fringes of society and discovered by chance or through people close to the artists, are today a fundamental part of art history. For 45 years, collector Bruno Decharme has been collecting these creations born outside the official art world. The exhibition Art Brut. In the Intimacy of a Collection at the Centre Pompidou presents over 300 works from his donation to the Musée National d’Art Moderne. Organized like a puzzle, the exhibition explores the variety of themes and perspectives of Art Brut, revealing the incredible creative force of the human spirit outside of convention.
At the Musée Carnavalet an exhibition traces the life and work of Madame de Sévigné through letters, portraits and objects, revealing seventeenth-century Paris through the eyes of one of its sharpest observers.
Playing with Fire at the Philharmonie de Paris is an immersive installation that reimagines the classical concert by blending music with virtual and mixed reality. The creation featuring pianist Yuja Wang invites audiences to experience the musical performance in a dialogue between sound and image, producing a multisensory experience.
The exhibition revisits Walter De Maria’s work through sequences, geometries and perceptions that turn space into a physical experience. Sculptures, films and drawings reveal an artist far more complex than his customary association with Land Art suggests.
At the Jeu de Paume, the first major French exhibition devoted to Jo Ractliffe traces more than forty years of work across South Africa and Angola. Seemingly quiet landscapes function as repositories of memory, shaped by historical violence and its lasting traces.
