Taryn Simon
Tour of the exhibition with Ami Barak, curator
le 14 avril 2015
18h00 - 19h00
Jeu de Paume, Paris

Jeu de Paume invites you to a tour of “Rear Views, A Star-forming Nebula, and the Office of Foreign Propaganda” with Ami Batak, curator of the exhibition.

Taryn Simon (b. 1975) has constructed an ambitious body of work that is the result of an invisible and rigorous process of research and investigation. Her works combine photography, text, and graphic design, in conceptual projects addressing the production and circulation of knowledge, and the politics of representation. Simon interrogates the power and structure of secrecy and the precarious nature of survival.

Tuesday 14 April, 6pm. Free admission on presentation of the exhibition ticket of the day.
