Marguerite Humeau "FOXP2" @ Palais de Tokyo in Paris

Palais de Tokyo has invited Marguerite Humeau for her first major solo exhibition. The artist has produced an entire series of new work for the project; a physical and sensory experience at the crossroads between research and fiction. Myths, speculations and fantasies are at the heart of Marguerite Humeau’s artwork. The development of each project includes a phase of extensive research and collaboration with numerous specialists and scientists. At Palais de Tokyo, Marguerite Humeau re-enacts the origin of life and the development of conscious life forms in an ominous atmosphere. Marguerite Humeau "FOXP2" will be open until September 11, 2016 at Palais de Tokyo in Paris.

Tianzhuo Chen Performance at the Palais de Tokyo

View fullsize

Palais de Tokyo presents the very first solo exhibition in France of Chinese young artist Tianzhuo Chen, one of the most promising artists of his generation. Tianzhuo Chen uses a colourful, grotesque and kitsch imagery, dominated by direct references to drugs, LGBT hip hop, the London rave scene, Japanese Butoh, voguing in New York and the fashion world, to forge an intimate connection between his works and the collapse of moral attitudes and beliefs we see around us. The exhibition will be on view from June 24 to September 13, 2015 at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris.
