The Palais de Tokyo pushes the borders yet again in "Superdome"
While in Paris for the upcoming Men's shows , everybody should take a day off to scan Marc-Olivier Wahler's Superdome , at Palais de Tokyo, my favorite contemporary "museum" in the world right this minute. I can't best the press release as follows :
The Superdome is a mythical stadium: built in 1975 in New Orleans (Louisiana), it has hosted numerous Super Bowls (the American football championship’s final), a Rolling Stones concert, Pope John Paul II, the Republican Convention and refugees of Hurricane Katrina. Paradoxical, the Superdome builds a bridge between the greatest entertainment and the greatest anguish. Inspired by its additional and schizophrenic logic, mixing "I can get no satisfaction" AND "Our Father in heaven", Marc-Olivier Wahler puts forward SUPERDOME: a new session composed of five solo exhibitions balancing between entertainment and desolation, decibels and prayers, high-tech and chaos, as the continuation of a program testing the notion of the elasticity of art which started at the Palais de Tokyo with Five Billion Years.
I can't wait to see the exhibit with the massive section of museum floor, cut out and hung suspended from the ceiling. And you thought sending a crack through the middle of a perfect poured concrete floor was transgressive !
