Reclaim the Earth

Apr 15 – Sep 4, 2022 Palais de Tokyo, Paris

Acknowledging today’s socially and politically crucial need to rethink the world beyond the nature/culture partition, the exhibition Reclaim the Earth4 follows the trajectories of artists with a different approach to “natural” materials: wood, earth, plants, shells or minerals are motifs or mediums irreducible to their mere materiality.

The exhibition was supported by the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland.
