Kinetic Art Emerges from Purgatory in Strasbourg Exhibition

The Musée d'Art Moderne et Contemporain de Strasbourg presents 'L'Œil moteur,' an exhibition on optical and kinetic art running until September 25, 2005. The show focuses on the years 1950 to 1975 and aims to reveal the 'cognitivist ambition' of this art movement. It follows earlier homages, including a 2001 tribute to Denise René at Centre Pompidou and a 2003 Vasarely exhibition at Atelier Renault. Concurrently, a Nicolas Schöffer exhibition is on view at Espace Electra in Paris until September 11, 2005, and another at Galerie Denise René on Boulevard Saint-Germain.
