Enterrer le soleil: Art and the Underground at Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris

The exhibition 'Enterrer le soleil' at the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris explores artists' fascination with subterranean worlds. The show examines how underground spaces—from caves and mines to bunkers and sewers—have inspired artistic creation across centuries. Featuring works by over 50 artists, including Odilon Redon, Anselm Kiefer, and Mona Hatoum, the exhibition delves into themes of darkness, hidden histories, and the unconscious. Curated by Sophie Duplaix and Odile Burluraux, 'Enterrer le soleil' runs from April 4 to August 24, 2025. The title, meaning 'to bury the sun,' evokes the poetic and mysterious nature of the underground, a realm that has long captivated artists for its symbolic and literal depths.
