"Révolutions Xenakis" at the Philharmonie de Paris is a survey of the artistic current that inspired the avant-garde composer Iannis Xenakis (1922-2001). The show dives into the similarities of the kinetic art movement and the work of Xenakis, namely the experimental practices; the interest in technical innovations and hybridizations; the viewer’s active role; and finally, the spectacular – even playful – dimension of their work.
Curated by Marion Challier, the exhibition "Echos" presents a selection of works of the main representatives of the kinetic art movement as well as contemporary artists, including Peter Kassovitz, Laurent Bolognini, Ann Veronica Janssens, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Elias Crespin, Jesús Rafael Soto, François Morellet, Victor Vasarely and Nicolas Schöffer.
The Cruz-Diez Foundation contributed to the exhibition by lending a work from CDF’s Collection: Carlos Cruz-Diez’s Physichromie 1843 (2013).
"Révolutions Xenakis" and "Echos" will be open to the public from February 10 to June 26, 2022.
