From December 11, 2024 to March 19, 2025 at the Grand Palais, 5 avenue Winston Churchill, 75008 PARIS

As a preview of the reopening of all its galleries in June 2025, the Grand Palais is presenting an exhibition dedicated to the poetic and sensitive work of Japanese artist Chiharu Shiota.

Born in Osaka in 1972 and living in Berlin, Chiharu Shiota is world-renowned for her monumental installations made of interwoven wool threads. These gigantic canvases very often envelop objects from everyday life and invite a majestic dreamlike journeyHis protean creations explore the notions of temporality, movement, memory and dreams, and require both mental and physical involvement from the viewer.
