L'Addition
Musée d'OrsayTickets available at tinyurl.com/2usfdz3d The great troublemakers of the contemporary art scene, Elmgreen & Dragset, have been invited to place their poetic sculptures in dialogue with the Musée d'Orsay's iconic sculpture nave. Their exhibitions always lie at the intersection of performance, space, and sculpture. The presentation they have created specifically for Musée d'Orsay will have the visitor dive into a museum upside down. The artists have conceived a radical architectural intervention entitled L'Addition, which is unlike anything the museum has ever shown. While challenging modes for displaying artworks, the duo will present a series of new figurative sculptures. These works will depict various topics linked to contemporary masculinities in close dialogue with the museum's historical permanent collection, highlighting the similarities and differences in artistic approaches to figuration. Curated by Christophe Leribault, President of the Palace, Museum and National Estate of Versailles and Nicolas Gausserand, Advisor to the President in charge of international affairs and contemporary programs, Musée d'Orsay.
