As a preview to the reopening of all its galleries in June 2025, the Grand Palais presents an exhibition dedicated to the poetic and moving universe of Japanese artist Chiharu Shiota.
Born in Osaka in 1972 and now living in Berlin, Chiharu Shiota is internationally renowned for her monumental installations made from interwoven wool threads. These gigantic canvases, often enveloping personal objects, invite us on a captivating, dreamlike journey. Her work explores profound themes such as temporality, movement, memory and dreams, inviting the viewer into an immersive experience, both mental and physical.
Co-organized with Tokyo's Mori Art Museum, this exhibition is the largest retrospective ever devoted to the artist in France. Spanning over 1,200 square metres, it offers a unique sensory experience. Featuring seven monumental installations, sculptures, photographs, drawings, performance videos and archival documents relating to his stagings, the exhibition reveals the evolution of Shiota's career, which spans more than twenty years.
The exhibition is presented in collaboration with the Grand Palais-Rmn, Paris, and the Mori Art Museum, Tokyo.
