An exhibition is always a dialogue: between the works, the artists and the people who organize it. Contemporary creation challenges, provokes, seduces or disturbs: it asks more questions than it gives answers.
The exhibition "Les portes du jour" is conceived as an open scenario, a script without an imposed ending, which allows us to apprehend time and space differently.
Spread over two historical sites, the Carnavalet and Cognacq-Jay museums, the five winning contemporary works of the 1% art market prize share a common acuity in reflecting on the present, equidistant from utopia and dystopia.
Different temporalities and realities coexist within the exhibition - imaginary, material, interior, exterior, local, global. Since the dawn of time, artists have been attentive mediums and sensitive witnesses who, deciphering the world's mutations, help us to make our way into the invisible.
"The exhibition "Les portes du jour" brings together five fascinating artists who are concerned with the major issues of their time. I am delighted that the 1% Art Market Prize has been able to contribute to the creation of these major works," said Frédéric Mauget, CEO of Crédit Municipal de Paris.
The exhibition will be open to the public on the occasion of Nuit Blanche, October 1, from 7:00 pm to 2:00 am.
