Palais de Tokyo is presenting the first solo show by Dorian Gaudin (born in 1986 in Paris, lives in New York) in an art centre. This artist, whose work has recently been shown at the off site exhibition organised by Palais de Tokyo alongside Manifesta 11, in Zürich, will produce an original immersive installation, animated by a precise score and mechanism.
Dorian Gaudin appreciates the play of correspondences connecting or separating various elements, from a jet engine to a minimal sculpture, or butchered meat to a mechanical organ. His works are often animated by their own, sometimes chaotic motion, thus bringing together unity and fragmentation, or centrifugal and centripetal forces.
