Answering Marcel Duchamp’s question: “Can one make works of art which are not ’of art’?”, the exhibition “At the Edge of the Worlds" explores the many fields of artistic creation and welcomes creative people from outside of the art world whose work would seem to belong to it through its depth, its beauty and its singularity.

The Palais de Tokyo continues its exploration into the interstices between art and the sciences by paying tribute to the great sculptor and inventor Takis who will turn 90 in 2015. The first person to “send a man into space,” six months before Yuri Gagarin, during a famous performance, and a major figure in post-war art.

Through her various artistic propositions, Bouchra Khalili, winner of the SAM Prize for contemporary art 2013, associates subjectivity and collective history in order to question the complex relationships between colonial and postcolonial History, contemporary migrations, its geographies and stories and the imaginary that result from it.

Starting in 2008, Mathieu Briand set up a temporary studio on a small island in the Channel of Mozambique (Madagascar). This is a sacred place, inhabited for generations by a Malgache family that agreed to allow Mathieu Briand to invite a number of artists* to create works in situ or send instructions for others to do so.

For more than ten years, Jérôme Zonder has been developing a body of work of great virtuosity, centered on drawings. Primarily executed in lead pencil and charcoal, often in large formats, his works elicit admiration yet contain certain frightful elements.

‘To keep the darkness sealed within’ is Andrés Ramirez’s first solo exhibition. Founded on an analysis and re-appropriation of techniques taken from industrial production and visual communication, his installations have a certain poetic quality. He frames, un-frames and then re-frames not only the gallery space but also the works themselves.

The exhibition at the CCS is part of a series of events, some of which have already taken place in 2015 at the Museum für Gegenwartskunst in Siegen and at the Consortium in Dijon, all paying homage to Rémy Zaugg, 10 years after his passing. The intransigent work of Rémy Zaugg heavily features words and phrases and calls into question the challenges of perception.

Perception is a key starting point for visual artist Dan Shipsides whose work deals with the dynamics of landscape. It embraces a conception of landscape as the living experience of the world around us, here and now, as much as a framed perspective in the art historical or cultural sense.

Sylvain Ciavaldini juggles with the contradictions which constitute our existence, our relation with the world and artistic creation. By experimenting with the manipulation of images and forms he reflects on the very foundations of artistic creation. Each of his works can be interpreted as an exquisite corpse, where one form gives rise to other forms.

Taryn Simon has constructed an ambitious body of work that is the result of an invisible and rigorous process of research and investigation. Simon interrogates the power and structure of secrecy and the precarious nature of survival. The exhibition at the Jeu de Paume presents a collection of Simon’s works produced since 2000.

Florence Henri (New York— Compiègne (France)) was a multi-faceted artist, who was first known for her paintings before making a name for herself as a major figure in avant-garde photography between the end of the 1920s and the beginning of the 1940s. This medium enabled her to experiment new relationships with space, in particular by the use of mirrors.

The works of Vandy Rattana serve to contradict the images of Cambodia that have been most widely captured and circulated. From the early ethnographic gaze during the French Protectorate to recent decades of war reportage, a disproportionate engagement with Angkor Wat and the Khmer Rouge perpetuates a static imaginary of a place and people incapable of continuity.
