UNLIMITED BODIES presents an exclusive show of 30 international sculptors. Representative of several generations, these artists will move into the 1000 square meters of the hypostyle room in the Palais d'Iéna for twelve days.
UNLIMITED BODIES explores contemporary sculpture in a one-on-one confrontation with its public, revealing an art that is deeply rooted in the present moment. The scuplture-bodies of the show are of a human dimension and emphasize the formal analogy between sculpture and the human figure. The metaphorical and allegorical transformations which happen to the body when it is treated as sculpture are highlighted by the exhibition. The social and political dimensions of human beings are also part of sculpture's ambition. The displayed works directly question the place of the human being in today's world.

December 13, 2024 - January 12, 2025
The exhibition ‘Fingertips’ is extended till January 26
Through his evocative and masterful works, Johan Tahon invites you to experience the delicate balance between nature, emotion, and the passage of time. His sculptures promise to stir deep reflection and awe, offering a unique glimpse into his artistic journey and the intricate layers of the human experience.
At the heart of Fingertips is the tactile, sensual act of sculpting—each piece molded directly by the artist’s hands, engaging in a quiet yet powerful dance between maker and medium. These works, formed from both clay and ice, bear the imprints of the artist’s fingers, leaving traces of his emotional connection to the material. The act of creation becomes an expression of feeling, an exploration of presence, vulnerability, and transformation.
