A Journey Between History and Avant-Garde
The Objects in Focus exhibition immerses you in a period when art and thought were deeply renewed. During the interwar years, artists and intellectuals became fascinated by non-European arts, archaeological objects, and folk creations. They asked themselves: What is an object? What makes an object a work of art?
Through avant-garde journals such as Cahiers d'art, Minotaure, and Documents, they experimented with new ways of looking at art and culture. By confronting objects from different periods and origins, they challenged the hierarchies established by classical art history.
By visiting this exhibition, you'll discover how these reflections have profoundly influenced our perception of art and culture to this day.
An Immersive Set Design and Unique Presentation
The exhibition's set design, conceived by Maud Martinot, Sabir, and Aura Studio, offers an immersive experience at the heart of this artistic revolution. Each room has been designed to highlight the works on display while fostering a dynamic and interactive approach to the subject.
The exhibition has been created in partnership with prestigious institutions such as the Benaki Museum in Athens and the École française d'Athènes, ensuring scientific expertise and a diversity of viewpoints.
