Sites at the Jardin des Tuileries –
Domaine national du Louvre and at musée national Eugène-Delacroix
Organized
in collaboration with the Musée du Louvre and curated by Annabelle Ténèze,
Director of Les Abattoirs, Musée - Frac Occitanie Toulouse, the exhibition
titled ‘La Suite de l'Histoire’, brings together large-scale works in the
scenic grounds of the Jardin des Tuileries and a solo project by artist
Thaddeus Mosley in the landscaped garden at the musée national
Eugène-Delacroix.
The
exhibition examines the multi-layered history of the Jardin des Tuileries,
including its political and public dimensions, through the work of artists
whose practices often subvert and reimagine the role of art in the public
realm. Set in a place in which history, architecture and nature converge, the exhibition
invites visitors to revisit the gardens in a new way.
Annabelle
Ténèze, Paris+ par Art Basel Curator of Sites at the Jardin des Tuileries –
Domaine national du Louvre and at the musée national Eugène-Delacroix, says:
‘La Suite de l'Histoire’ brings together contemporary creations linked to new
artistic practices in the public space. In the Jardin des Tuileries, a place of
history, a space of nature in the city and a popular attraction, and in the
musée Delacroix, over 20 works emancipate themselves from the tradition of
monumental elevation and question the narratives in suspense. The artists,
proposing alternative monuments, turning the forms of sculpture upside down or
inhabiting the garden in a different way, reveal the possible continuations of history;
‘La Suite de l'Histoire’.
Laurence des Cars, Présidente-Directrice of the Musée du Louvre says: ‘I am thrilled about this inaugural exhibition, which reflects an emboldened presence of contemporary art in the Tuileries, and is embedded in the renewal of our autumnal sculpture project in the gardens. Since the 17th century, the garden has been a place for the public and for creativity. Annabelle Ténèze, whose work at the musée d’art contemporain de Rochechouart and the Abattoirs in Toulouse I have followed closely, has perfectly mastered the technical and curatorial challenges at hand to propose an exhibition that features works by artists from different generations and backgrounds. The Tuileries garden, like the Louvre and the musée Delacroix, is a place filled with life in all its forms. With this exhibition, we will be able to write 'La Suite de l'Histoire' together.’

and social interaction, presented by Galerie Philippe Gravier.
•
German artist Judith Hopf’s ‘Phone User 4 (outdoor)’ (2022), a concrete sculpture
of a human-sized figure holding a smartphone, addressing the fraught
relationship between people and their mobile devices
• A
sculpture by Austrian artist Franz West titled ‘Lemurenköpfe (Lemure Heads)’
(1992/2000), first displayed at documenta IX in Kassel in 1992 and presented by

The
applications for Sites at the Jardin des Tuileries were open to all galleries,
irrespective of their participation in Paris+ par Art Basel.
The
exhibition will continue at the musée national Eugène Delacroix, which will
host a presentation of works by African American artist Thaddeus Mosley,
marking the sculptor’s first solo museum exhibition in France. Mosley
introduces an installation comprising recent sculptures, ranging in size from
miniature to monumental. Heavily carved pieces are balanced against one another
in multi-part sculptures, which are contrasted by smaller, mask-sized, tabletop
sculptures. Mosley's work is presented by Karma.
Sites
at Place Vendôme
At
Place Vendôme, German-Polish artist Alicja Kwade will present ‘Au cours des
Mondes’ (2022), curated by Jérôme Sans. This new installation, her largest to
date, is a set of
spheres, a recurring motif for the artist, in dialogue with infinite staircases. A veritable initiatory journey in the public space, the installation questions our relationship to knowledge, the universe, and the mechanisms of power. The work is presented by kamel mennour.

Sites at Chapelle des Petits-Augustins des Beaux-Arts de Paris
Omer
Fast's exhibition ‘Karla’ (2022) will be on view at Chapelle des
Petits-Augustins des Beaux-Arts de Paris. It features a holographic projection
exploring the eponymous character’s job for a big tech company, as well as
ghost-like sculptures and copies of Max Beckmann's self-portrait. Together,
these elements respond to the 16th-century sculptures permanently on view in
the chapel, exploring the inherently ambiguous nature of concepts such as
authenticity, time, and reality. 'Karla' is presented by gb agency.
The
Sites sector is supported by David Yurman, a celebrated American jewelry
company founded in New York by David Yurman, a sculptor, and his wife, Sybil, a
painter and ceramicist – both proud benefactors of the arts.
Evan
Yurman, President of David Yurman says: ‘We are pleased to partner with Paris+
par Art Basel in their inaugural year to support their public art project
‘Sites’ in Paris – a city that, like our hometown of New York, is defined by
art and artists. We at David Yurman feel connected to the city’s history, its
people, its art, and are excited to be a part of this project with Paris+ to
help amplify the French capital’s artistic roots.’
