Miriam Cahn: Ma Pensée Sérielle

Miriam Cahn, one of the world's most recognised contemporary artists, confronts the body in its materiality and engages with the socio-political concerns we often try to escape. Her vibrant yet haunting works, known for their chromatic and spatial dissonances, spread across drawing, photography, painting, film, and writing. Ma Pensée Sérielle at Palais de Tokyo offers up a range of richly illustrated and provocative imagery reflecting on systems of power, feminism, sexuality, and more. The exhibition is the first major retrospective devoted to Cahn and runs until 14th May 2023. In this collection, we bring together a selection of pieces that delve into the various experiences of body reality, like Cahn, bringing us face to face with the abject, vulnerability, and ugliness...

Projects: Ming Smith

‘You have to catch a moment that would never ever return again, and do it justice.’ This principle has guided Ming Smith's work since she started photographing New York and its people in the 1970s. Her black-and-white street photography encompasses political struggles, everyday minutiae and everything in between as it plays out on the streets of the city. To coincide with Projects: Ming Smith, an exhibition that dives into the artist's archive at New York's MoMa, running from 4 February to 29 May 2023, we have curated a selection of artworks that, in this context, fit with the spirit of her practice.

Fractal Art

The Fractal Art collection features a range of works that reflect the aesthetics of fractal and geometric arrangements. Bringing together digital works, prints and paintings, the Fractal Art collection was curated to showcase artists working with geometry, pattern, repetition and symmetry to form works of art. What is Fractal Art? Across the platform we have artists working in all kinds of styles, from realist and figruative, to abstract and colour field. Fractal art first came about during the 1980s and is a genre of digital art. A form of abstraction, Fractal art deals with mathematical arrangements and algorithms to form a patterned artwork.
