Anne and Patrick Poirier Retrospective at MAMC Saint-Étienne

The exhibition 'Danger Zones' at the Musée d’art moderne et contemporain de Saint-Étienne Métropole showcases the work of the French artist duo Anne and Patrick Poirier, who were born in 1942. Curated by Lóránd Hegyi, this retrospective includes approximately forty pieces spanning from the 1960s to the present, delving into themes such as archaeology, architecture, memory, fragility, silence, and oblivion. Notable sections feature 'The Ruins of the Future' and 'Utopias of Memory'. Key works include 'Domus Aurea, Construction IV' (1977), a 17x6 meter black coal city, and 'Exotica' (2000), a 13x10 meter urban landscape. Additionally, the 'Journal de Los Angeles', a 270-page collaboration with Salvatore Settis, is on view. The exhibition is open until January 29, 2017.
