Mona Hatoum : Centre Pompidou, Paris, France
Past exhibition
Information
In our world driven by contradictions, geopolitical tensions, and diverse aesthetics, Mona Hatoum offers us a body of work that achieves unparalleled universality, a work that has become a "model" for many contemporary artists. The British artist of Palestinian origin is one of the leading figures on the international contemporary art scene. Her work stands out for the precision of its message, the harmony between the forms and materials she employs, the multidisciplinary nature of her practice, and ultimately, her original and committed reinterpretation of contemporary art movements (performance art, kinetic art, minimalism). Twenty years after mounting the first museum exhibition dedicated to the work of Mona Hatoum, the Centre Pompidou is now presenting her first major monographic exhibition, bringing together around one hundred works and showcasing the multidisciplinary nature of her practice from 1977 to 2015. Without a chronological order, like a "map" of Mona Hatoum's trajectory, the exhibition offers the public a journey through her work based on formal and sensory affinities. Thus, performances from the 1980s, whether documented in photographs, drawings, or videos, are placed in relation to installations, sculptures, drawings, photographs, and objects dating from the late 1980s to the present day.
