Fondation groupe EDF exhibition explores future predictions through contemporary art
At the Fondation groupe EDF in Paris, the exhibition 'Ce que l’horizon promet' delves into themes of certainty and uncertainty through the creations of around thirty contemporary artists. This showcase runs until September 28, 2025. Among the highlighted pieces are Agnieszka Kurant's 'Lottocracy' (2024), Philippe Ramette's 'Explorateur' (2011), and Ben's modified clock titled 'la Catastrophe est prévisible mais invisible' (1998). Additionally, Pierrick Sorin exhibits 'Nantes. Projets d’artistes' (2000) alongside a holographic self-portrait from 2004. Other notable works include Zdeněk Košek's recordings (1990-1991) and Gérald Panighi's 'Mauvaise Météo' (1999-2024). Curated by Gérald Bronner with Nathalie Bazoche, Samantha Barroero, and Erell Guégan, the exhibition also offers expert interviews and a 120-page catalog available for 18 euros, examining historical prediction techniques and current challenges.
