The exhibition 'Lorsque La Beauté Paraît (When Beauty Appears)' by Taiwanese American artist Lee Mingwei is currently showcased at Perrotin in Paris, representing his most extensive display outside a museum to date. This exhibition features seven invitational projects, including 'La Fleur en Chemin' (2009/26), 'The Mending Project' (2009–), 'Sonic Blossom' (2013–), 'The Breath Drawings' (2024–), 'Chaque Souffle une Danse' (2024–), and the newly co-commissioned work 'The Copyist's Paradox' (2025/26) from Musée du Louvre and Centre Pompidou-Metz. Curated by Thierry Raspail, the show delves into themes of beauty, generosity, and healing kindness. Lee discusses the political aspects of his art and the significance of questions as Zen Buddhist kōans in an interview with Australian curator Rhana Devenport. The exhibition is open until May 30 at Perrotin, Paris.
