Les Extatiques 2020 : Paris La Défense & La Seine Musicale
“A 3rd edition that’s still ecstatic, but has nothing to see… In 2014, Marina Abramovic said, “Art is a question of energy and energy is invisible”! It is this energy that is at the heart of this edition subtitled “Nothing to See” in the sense that the works presented are either improbable because they defy the senses, gravity, logic or codes of power – like the Concorde obelisk created by Ívan Argote especially for the exhibition – or conceal the visible hidden like the Zig Zag labyrinth by Hector Zamora which plays with shadows, the sun and the architecture of La Défense. Eclectic, joyful, colourful, this new edition invites you to stroll, to a surprising walk through the forms of the works and their hidden meaning that gradually reveals itself on contact with them”.
