Past: June 1 → November 30, 2024

As part of La Métropolitaine, rendez-vous international d’art contemporain de la Métropole du Grand Paris, en collaboration avec TRAM, réseau art contemporain Paris / Île-de-France

La Galerie, centre d’art contemporain d’intérêt national de Noisy-le-Sec is pleased to introduce Brazilian artist Jonathas de Andrade (born in 1982, lives and works in Recife), who presents “Le Syndicat des Olympiades” [The Olympiad Syndicate], an inclusive and participatory project involving organizations from Noisy-le-Sec. Jonathas de Andrade draws on photography, video and performance art to question the architectural, social and cultural impact of the Olympic Games, while taking into account the myriad and diverse landscapes and people who inhabit and shape this area on a daily basis.

During the exhibition, the La Galerie building will become the headquarters for this unusual syndicate by welcoming a collection of works (photographic portraits, a film, an architectural model, some objects…), created for the occasion, which provide visibility for and valorize the inhabitants of this suburb just as they do sports fans of various social classes and ages.

Curating: Marc Bembekoff and La Galerie team
