Part discovery, part stroll, this major event in the cultural life of Paris invites Parisians and tourists alike, free of charge, to encounter works by national and international artists.
The ‘Sport Games’ exhibition aims to show the multitude of phenomena linked to sport, the body and movement, revisited by contemporary artists. It highlights phenomena that are often neglected, ignored or only marginally present in social discourse. Sport is presented as a kind of game that has taken hold of social consciousness. It has become a kind of religion or meaning of life. It is part of social programmes from an early age, with athletes seen as superheroes.
The exhibition is organised jointly by the Polish Institute in Paris and the Mazovian Centre for Contemporary Art ‘Elektrownia’ in Radom, in cooperation with Contemporary Lynx magazine, to coincide with the XXXIII Olympic Games in Paris.
This year, the Polish Institute in Paris is taking part in the 23rd edition of Nuit Blanche with unusual tours of the Sport Games! exhibition.
