Philippe Parreno's 'Anywhere Anywhere Out of the World' at Palais de Tokyo

exhibition · 2026-04-20

Philippe Parreno's solo exhibition 'Anywhere Anywhere Out of the World' occupies the entire Palais de Tokyo in Paris, running from autumn 2013. The show is structured as a collaborative, polyphonic work, with a player piano performing Igor Stravinsky's 'Petrouchka' acting as the exhibition's 'master' program. Parreno reconfigures old and new pieces, including works by Liam Gillick, Tino Sehgal, and Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster. The exhibition features a Marquee on the facade, a LED screen showing 'No More Reality', a robot from the film 'Marilyn', and a reenactment of Merce Cunningham's 2002 exhibition at Margaret Roeder Gallery. A garden from Parreno's film 'CHZ' is displayed alongside real-time images of its Portuguese location. The show includes a library intervention by Gonzalez-Foerster, a performance by Tino Sehgal reprising the character Annlee, and a screening of 'Zidane' with 17 projectors. Parreno collaborated with landscape architect Bas Smets to create an architecture of displacement, intending some architectural gestures to remain. A catalogue with photos by Darius Khondji, a discussion with Carlos Basualdo, and a text by Michel Serres will be published. Future projects include exhibitions at the Armory in New York, Hangarbicoca in Milan, Serralves Museum in Porto, and a collaboration with Hans Ulrich Obrist and Daniel Birbaum for Luma Foundation. Parreno is also working on film adaptations of Huysmans' 'À Rebours' and 'Frankenstein'.
