Featured Events in Paris in December, 2024(January Updated)

White Cube is pleased to present works by Takis. A leading figure in the kinetic and sound art movements, Greek artist Panayiotis Vassilakis (1925–2019), known as Takis, incorporated invisible forces as a fourth dimension in his sculpture, painting and sound works. Frequently employing electromechanical devices salvaged from military surplus stores, the artist explored new technologies in his practice, taking art into domains previously relegated to experimental physics.

Perrotin presents Ribbon Sharp, Chiffon Thomas’s first solo exhibition in Europe and with the gallery. The Brooklyn-based artist brings an interdisciplinary approach to art incorporating sculpture, collage and drawing. The show features a dozen new sculptures and an immersive installation, examining the fusion of anatomical forms with architectural structures. His multifaceted practice—often composed of reclaimed wood, concrete, bronze and stained glass—explores the self as split, fractured, and transforming.

Living with painting, and through it. For Nikki Maloof, art is a way to organize time, to inhabit it and to occupy spaces—a house, a garden, a studio. When the public and private spheres are interwoven with persistent tension and anxiety, painting allows her to capture the very essence of things and beings in order to acknowledge human distress.

For his exhibition at Galerie Chantal Crousel, Thomas Hirschhorn presents a new body of works Art-History-Plaques, a continuation of his works inspired by the aesthetics of Instagram posts referring here to Art History and its legacy.

Jean-Philippe Delhomme’s new paintings continue to explore a subtle reflection on human presence and the authenticity of the gaze. The exhibition Model Resting is organized around portraits and still lifes, with the word Model emphasizing a direct relationship with the person present and the word Resting introducing the question of inactivity.

The exhibition features 80 paintings, sketches, letters and photographs, looking back on the careers of 17 female artists including Louise Abbéma, Madeleine Smith, Juana Romani, Ottilie Roederstein, Dorothy Tennant, and showcasing the artistic training, female friendship and creative ability of female artists in the late 19th century.

Perrotin Paris introduces Focus, a new initiative dedicated to special projects and thematic presentations. Located in the gallery at 2bis avenue Matignon, Focus offers an intimate setting for artists to explore short, experimental, or deeply personal narratives. Audiences can engage with curated projects that highlight a unique aspect of an artist's practice beyond larger exhibitions. The inaugural Focus exhibition is a poetic series by Lionel Estève entitled Un Hiver à Athènes (A Winter in Athens). Using delicate embroidery on pieces of white silk, the artist documents his wanderings through Athens, capturing fleeting impressions of the city's landscapes, textures, and rhythms.

The Tree Tales exhibition is a fairy tale of trees. Profoundly in love with wood, the Danish designer and Master-cabinet maker Laura Bergsøe has devoted her life to revealing the personality and “soul” of the trees that she sources all over the world for her dream-like tables, shelves, lamps and wall reliefs. Bergsøe works with the uniqueness of each piece of wood – its veins and knots, twists and turns - which she enhances through precious metals and materials, such as liquid silver, bronze and raw diamonds, delicately inserted into the wood. Rich with imaginative details, such as butterfly joints, bronze and silver ornaments or mammoth tooths, Bergsøe turns the inside of the tree into a wonderland of sprouts and flowers, butterflies, silver lakes and diamond drops.

Bigaignon presents a manifesto group exhibition exploring the fundamental notions of light, time and space. After questioning the nature of photography in 2022 and the ambivalent relationship between light and shadow in 2023, this year's exhibition, entitled “What if it was all jus a mirage”, invites us to rethink our relationship with the image. Through works that blur the boundaries between visible and invisible, reality and fiction, past and future, this edition, which brings together no less than ten artists, questions the perception and fluidity of the world around us.

On the centenary of Sturtevant’s birth, this exhibition celebrates the work of the pioneering American artist, spanning over five decades. The exhibition centres around Sturtevant’s 1995 repetition of Félix González-Torres’s Untitled (Go-Go Dancing Platform) (1991), and retraces the evolution of her practice, from an early painting shown at her first exhibition in Europe in 1966, at Galerie J, Paris, to a significant video installation that manifests her later interest in the frenzy of fast-moving imagery that characterises our postmodern times. The works on view are brought together in commemoration of an artist whose groundbreaking practice continues to confront us with an audacious and provocative rethinking of art.

It is one of the three great spectacles of Paris, alongside the Lido and the Moulin Rouge. The Crazy Horse show is known for its exquisite, elegant, and alluring performances, which are artistic displays incorporating the concepts of "sound, light, color, and nudity." The entire show is typically comprised of beautiful dancers with well-proportioned and consistent bodies, who use gorgeous and fantastic lights and smoke as their clothing, presenting a three-dimensional song and dance show that combines sound, light, and sensory effects under colorful lighting and music.
