This exhibition looks back at the unclassifiable career of one of the most important French contemporary painters, Gérard Garouste (born 1946).

Alongside 120 major paintings, often of very large format, the exhibition also presents many of his installations, sculptures and graphic works.
These are all pieces that deliberately play on the deformations, mutilations and recompositions of the figure, the history of art and the great narratives (mythological, literary, religious). The artist seeks to question and overturn certainties in the mode of a game itself in perpetual reinvention.

Simultaneously to Paris+ by Art Basel, the Conseil économique social et environnemental is hosting the Brazilian artist Lucia Koch this year, for the first time in France. The monumental work is spread out over more than 1,200m2, i.e. almost all the spaces in the building. A true sensory experience, the in-situ project disrupts the perceptive habits of visitors to Auguste Perret's architecture, thanks to the gigantic coloured and translucent velums that she has been deploying in the architectural spaces since the end of the 2000s, and which are constantly animated by the slightest air currents and the passage of spectators..

Mission Recherche

Genius Loci offers the public an intimate experience of architecture, both visually, orally and olfistically. A journey for all the senses. After Gio Ponti's villa L'Ange Volant, the second edition of Genius Loci reveals Auguste Perret's flat to the public for the first time. In this space sublimated by the creations of the artists presented, Genius Loci invites us to discover Auguste Perret, a builder who wanted to "make architecture sing" from other angles: those of a designer, decorator, great lover of sculpture, music and poetry, and a lover of owls and angels.
