Michel Houellebecq
To Stay Alive
Palais de Tokyo is not presenting a show “about” Michel Houellebecq, but a show “by” Michel Houellebecq.
The poet, essayist and novelist Michel Houellebecq (b. 1958, France) has always had close ties with the cinema and the visual arts, which have accompanied and extended his reflexions since the start of his career. Made up of sounds, photographs, installations and films he has conceived, as well as the presence of several guest artists (among them Iggy Pop and Robert Combas), Palais de Tokyo’s exhibition is leading through the obsessions of the protean creator who he is.
Curator: Jean de Loisy
An issue of the magazine PALAIS is entirely dedicated to the exhibition. Co-published with Flammarion.
Mika Rottenberg
Palais de Tokyo presents a major exhibition by Mika Rottenberg (b. 1976, Argentina). On this occasion, the artist is presenting several new pieces and reinventing some of the video installations which have forged her international reputation, amidst an immersive, labyrinthine show. The journey is also being enriched by several sculptures displaying anatomical details or playing back certain ordinary elements of everyday life.
Curator: Daria de Beauvais
A monographic book published by Palais de Tokyo accompanies this exhibition.
Marguerite Humeau
FOXP2
Marguerite Humeau (b. 1986, France) is replaying the origins of forms of conscious life, by imagining that elephants would have dominated the planet if Homo sapiens had never existed.
Curator: Rebecca Lamarche-Vadel
A monographic book copublished by Palais de Tokyo and Nottingham Contemporary accompanies this show.
David Ryan & Jérôme Joy
Nothing at All. Idiorythmic Modes of Coexistence
Through drawing, video or sound and musical creation, David Ryan (b. 1960, France) and Jérôme Joy (b. 1961, France) combine autobiographical and fictional elements to explore the notion of “coexistence.”
Curator: Katell Jaffrès
Dineo Seshee Bopape
UNTITLED (OF OCCULT INSTABILITY) [FEELINGS]
