What if contemporary art revealed our relationship with the body better than any discourse? This is the challenge taken up – and largely met – by the \u201cCorps et \u00e2mes\u201d exhibition at the Bourse de Commerce – Pinault Collection. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

A visceral journey through the contemporary body<\/h2>\n\n

Inaugurated last March, the new season orchestrated by Emma Lavigne<\/strong> plunges us into a polyphonic meditation on the body, its fragility, its stories, its scars. The tour opens with a striking video byAna Mendieta<\/strong>, a silhouette erased in the damp earth, and closes with feverish dances by Cecilia Bengolea<\/strong>. In between: bodies mutilated, glorified, aged, loved, invisible… but always profoundly alive<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

Powerful works, between memory and politics<\/h2>\n\n

The strength of the exhibition lies in its diversity. We pass from the clinical gaze of Kerry James Marshall<\/strong> – whose BlackOlympia<\/em> disturbs as much as it fascinates – to the vibrant portraits of Zanele Muholi<\/strong> or Lynette Yiadom-Boakye<\/strong>, via the monumental installations of Georg Baselitz<\/strong>. These eight inverted canvases, an ode to the aging body, transform the space into a contemporary chapel<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n
