The Palais de Tokyo has invited the French graphic designers M/M (Paris) - Michael Amzalag and Mathias Augustyniak - who are well known for both their work with Bjørk or at Vogue to show some of the major artworks from the Dakis Joannou Collection. The show sets out to take stock of today's art via these two graphic designers' own view of major artworks from the recent past: Are we about to see a new modernism appear, one founded on a resistance to the uniformization of culture?
Participating artists:
Vanessa Beecroft, Michael Bevilacqua, Ashley Bickerton, Cai Guo-Qiang, Maurizio Cattelan, Verne Dawson, Matt Greene, Mike Kelley, Jeff Koons, Liza Lou, Ningura Napurrula, Shirin Neshat, Takashi Murakami, Cady Noland, Chris Ofili, Gabriel Orozco, Yinka Shonibare, Shahzia Sikander, Joseph Kosuth, Kara Walker, Nari Ward, Christopher Wool.
Curators: Nicolas Bourriaud, Jerome Sans and Marc Sanchez
The exhibition Translation is produced with the collaboration of The Deste Foundation for Contemporay Art, Athens.
