Jeu de Paume – Paris
Both Berenice Abbott and Ai Weiwei pinpoint the architectural and urban evolutions of their respective periods, while evoking the notions of citizenship and community. Jean-Luc Nancy will examine the way these two artists treat such themes and will, in particular, consider the way their images function as artworks in relation to their sociopolitical concerns.
Talk related to the exhibitions ”Ai Weiwei: Interlacing” and ”Berenice Abbott (1898–1991), Photographs”, by Jean-Luc Nancy, philosopher.
