Monopol Highlights Paris Autumn Exhibitions Around Art Basel Paris

Monopol published a selection of autumn exhibition highlights in Paris timed to Art Basel Paris, pointing readers to shows worth visiting. Among the featured presentations are Ibrahim Mahama's monumental installations, Jenny Holzer's light projections, and Irving Penn's fashion photographs. The Ghanaian artist Mahama is described as an artist of superlatives, regularly realizing giant projects in which diesel locomotives are hoisted into exhibition halls and entire building complexes are draped with tarpaulins sewn together from jute sacks used for cocoa or coffee. According to the publication, these materials, like the buildings themselves, are bound up with Ghana's colonial history. The article appears behind Monopol Plus, the magazine's paid subscription offering, which grants access to all articles on monopol-magazin.de during the subscription period.
