Franz Ackermann's First Major French Survey at Frac Champagne-Ardenne
The Frac Champagne-Ardenne in Reims is hosting the first major exhibition in France dedicated to Franz Ackermann, running until October 30. The show features immersive paintings where large canvases, turntables, and frescoes merge with objects, drawings, gouaches, and watercolors. Central to the exhibition are Ackermann's 'imaginary maps,' which for over a decade have transcribed his real and imaginary travels. The artist will also present works at the upcoming Biennale de Lyon.
