"Bodies and Souls" Exhibition at the Bourse de Commerce - Pinault Collection

Why Discover "Bodies and Souls"?

This exhibition is not just a presentation of artworks: it offers a profound reflection on what it means to be human in today's context. By addressing issues related to identity, memory, cultural heritage, and social struggles, it encourages visitors to confront the realities and challenges of our time. Iconic artists such as Auguste Rodin, Arthur Jafa, Deana Lawson, and Ana Mendieta offer varied and powerful perspectives that go well beyond traditional artistic forms. Sculptures, paintings, photographs, and videos interact in a visual choreography where each artwork becomes a mirror of human feelings, struggles, and hopes.

Through powerful and sometimes unsettling works, the exhibition questions the representation of the body, not just as an object of contemplation but also as a subject carrying meanings and social claims. Art is presented here as an organic link that connects souls, a bridge between eras and emotions. The experience is for those who wish not only to contemplate art but also to feel its force and impact on our collective consciousness.

A Selection of Iconic Artists

The "Bodies and Souls" journey includes works by great names in art history as well as contemporary voices that renew our view of the human body. Michael Armitage, with his technique of painting on Lubugo bark, evokes a deep connection between art and natural materials. Arthur Jafa, known for his striking films, presents works dealing with African American history and experience through visual rhythms inspired by black music, such as gospel and jazz.

Other artists, such as David Hammons, Georg Baselitz, and Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, explore the relationships between the individual and society, while Ana Mendieta uses her own body to address issues of exile and cultural roots. Each of these artists contributes to an experience that goes beyond mere contemplation to become a reflection on identity, resilience, and belonging.
