Le Bord des mondes at Palais de Tokyo Questions Art's Boundaries
The exhibition 'Le Bord des mondes' at Palais de Tokyo in Paris, running from February 18 to May 17, 2015, explores Marcel Duchamp's question of whether works exist that are not art. The show deliberately excludes art brut, naive art, and other categories, instead presenting objects and practices that challenge conventional definitions. Curated by a team including Jean de Loisy and Sandra Adam-Couralet, the exhibition features over 200 works from 60 international artists, ranging from ethnographic artifacts to contemporary pieces. Notable participants include Jimmie Durham, Mike Kelley, and Agnès Thurnauer. The show is structured around themes of the 'border between worlds,' examining how objects shift between functional, ritual, and artistic statuses. A catalog accompanies the exhibition, published by Flammarion.
