Exhibition: Grand Palais, Paris
In the exhibition “Carambolage” (March 2 to July 4, 2016, Grand Palais, Paris), curator Jean-Hubert Martin assembled works by known and unknown artists. Just like a billiard ball hitting two other balls, each work reverberates with another. The presentation of the 185 artworks from various epochs and genres departs from the traditional art-historical approach and provokes unexpected chains of associations. In addition to works by Alberto Giacometti, Man Ray, and Albrecht Dürer, Carambolage includes the poster “Man as Industrial Palace” (1926) by Fritz Kahn.
