Palais de Tokyo is presenting the first solo show by Dorian Gaudin in an art centre. The artist, whose work has recently been shown at the off-site exhibition organised by Palais de Tokyo alongside Manifesta 11, in Zürich, will produce an original immersive installation.
By focusing on the primary nature of machines — an instrument providing motion —, Dorian Gaudin reminds us of the way the fetishism of objects and technology govern our relationship with the world. Under the sign of magic and kinetics, this show stages a theatre of objects which become animated according to a precise score and mechanism.
Curator: Julien Fronsacq
A monographic book published by Palais de Tokyo is accompanying this show.
