Before the Storm

Frank Bowling, Texas Louise, 1971.

Feb 8 – Sept 11, 2023
2 Rue de Viarmes, 75001 Paris, France

The climate crisis has turned the seasons upside down, altering life cycles and disrupting traditions. In this show at Paris’s newest exhibition hall, 15 artists reimagine the new seasons—warm winters, summers ablaze, waters rising—as microterritories and strange temporalities. Highlights includes Anicka Yi’s vegetal cocoons and Alina Szapocznikow’s disturbing hybrids, which are part plant, part human, part object. A mesmerizing landscape by Danh Vo fills the museum’s rotunda. —Elena Clavarino
