PERSONNES

MONUMENTA 2010 / Christian Boltanski, Personnes
Curator: Catherine Grenier

Artistic confrontation of great ambition, MONUMENTA invites each year, on the initiative of the Ministry of Culture and Communication / Delegation to the plastic arts, a contemporary artist of international renown to invest the 13,500 m2 of the nave of the Grand Palais with a masterpiece specially designed for the occasion.

After the success of the first two editions of MONUMENTA entrusted to Anselm Kiefer, in 2007, and the American sculptor Richard Serra, in 2008, which each attracted more than 140,000 visitors in five weeks, Christian Boltanski, one of the most leading French artists, taking up the challenge in 2010. The exhibition is co-produced by the National Center for Visual Arts, the Grand Palais and the Réunion des Musées Nationaux.

NUIT BLANCHE

Where will you be tonight at Nuit Blanche? In the subway, on the tramway, in the middle of a jungle of green plants, or near a red mud geyser, in the basins of the Cité des Sciences? Will you attend one of the twelve parades held every hour in the Town Hall’s festival hall? Will you stroll along My Super Kilometre, made pedestrian between the Hôtel des Invalides and the Grand Palais… or will you find yourself lost in the open-air theatre of our lives, which takes over the whole of Île Saint-Louis? Will you give in to the influence of the new magicians at the Théâtre du Rond-Point? We will surely meet each other in the Nelson Mandela gardens, in those of La Villette or in the middle of the Paris Zoological Park, bathed in the sleep of the species. Continue straight ahead, after passing along the twilight banks of Lake Daumesnil, towards the secrets of the Great Rock…

This new edition of Nuit Blanche renews the challenge of bringing together artists and emblematic sites of the capital. Many of these monuments have never been invested by this extraordinary event before – many of these young artists have never been confronted with these scales before. Distributed in four routes, four autonomous “constellations” with very different environments, this 17th edition stages ambitious projects, sometimes a little crazy, following these imaginary lines of our shared stories. Go through these constellations that cross the capital – from medieval Paris to the recent reopening of the zoo – like moles on the skin of the metropolis…. Months of work have been necessary to make these dreams come true and to share with as many people as possible this journey in today’s art: with all the artists and all those who have worked without counting on the success of this crossing of the contemporary imagination, we wish each other a beautiful and infinite night.

Les Extatiques

108 Days of Artistic Journey – 60 Years of Creativity
Esplanade of La Défense from July 5th to October 21st 2018

In 2018, on the occasion of its 60th anniversary, Paris La Défense is offering from July 5th to October 21st, a unique artistic journey: Les Extatiques.
Fabrice Bousteau, artistic director of Les Extatiques, imagined an artistic journey born from the encounter between the territory and the artists. Soundwalk Collective, Lilian Bourgeat, Fanny Bouyagui, Hanif Kureshi, Vincent Lamouroux, Encoreunestp and Pablo Valbuena are invited to invest and reveal spaces through an unusual artistic stroll.

“Les Extatiques” is less an exhibition than an excitement designed by artists to encourage strolls in this place where architecture is confronted and often monumental works of art that make La Defense the largest sculpture park in Europe.”
