From December 10 to March 15, the Grand Palais presents Eva Jospin in dialogue with Claire Tabouret and the future stained-glass windows of Notre-Dame de Paris. With Grottesco, the artist unveils a brand-new creation: promontory, cenotaph, grotto, ruins, and forest, all fashioned from cardboard. The simplicity of the material contrasts with the monumentality of the volumes and the meticulousness of the cutouts. A perfect opportunity to revisit our last meeting with her.

Interior Environments

To question our notions of nature and culture, artist Olafur Eliasson recreates artificial environments within enclosed spaces. He thus shakes up the mysteries of the origins and temporality, and blurs the boundaries of reality in such a way that leaves viewers wondering whether mist, earth, rocks, and water are involved as sculptural elements or as agents and co-authors of the artworks themselves.

Xavier Veilhan - The artist's relationship to architecture

Xavier Veilhan is a visual artist. He represents France at the 57th Venice Biennale. Since he has been collaborating with PCA-STREAM on a regular basis for a decade, we interviewed him for the documentary “PCA-STREAM: from research to action”. In this talk, he evokes his relationship to architecture, which he considers both as a constraint to the creation process and as a source of inspiration and reflection that nourishes his practice.
