Exhibitions to see in July and August 2013 in Paris

While waiting for the sun to come, we can offer you a selection of exhibitions happening in June in Paris. Trade the parks and gardens for our museums ! These 7 exhibitions are happening now in Paris :

 

1 / Dynamo at Grand Palais

Two floors and around 4000 square meters, here to summarize 100 years of visual experimentation. Optical illusions, movement, distortions, light shows, labyrinths and trick mirrors, symbolizing a common will for the artists : to confuse us and invite us to take part in those unique experiences.

From Vasarely to Anish Kapoor, immerse in the conceptual art and sensory world.

From 04.10 to 07.22, 3 avenue du General Eisenhower, 75008 Paris.

 

2 / Chagall, between war and peace, at Museum of Luxembourg

Everyone knows Chagall’s wonderful work on the Opéra Garnier ceiling, and his “bride”, admired by Julia Roberts in Notting Hill. However, we know less of his war-influenced pieces, marked by the 1917 Revolution, German Occupation and the rise of Nazism. Through this incredible exhibition you will alternate between a state of appeasement and one of disturbance.

3/ Keith Haring at Paris Museum of Modern Art

The Museum of Modern Art and the Centquatre are both exhibiting Haring’s work. As an activist, the artist’s main themes were racism, homophobia, Apartheid and drug abuse. Keith Haring has fought his whole life against the injustices around him, using his art to deliver a message. Celebrated around the world for his half pop half street-art pieces, this exhibition focuses on the artist’s message while setting his pieces in the context of his life.
