Art French Kissin' in the U.S.A.

  • Adel_web_2_event_full

Taking its title from the 1986 Debbie Harry hit, the Moore Space's new exhibition gathers 18 contemporary French artists, including Adel Abdessemed, Philippe Perrot, and Tatiana Trouvé, to impart a compelling portrait of France's emerging talent. The show doesn't highlight one particular theme, but rather brings attention to a variety of styles produced by living French artists. Each one includes works in multiple disciplines and media, demonstrating what French curator and art critic Nicolas Bourriaud refers to as "generation sampling" — the appropriation of images from the 21st century's profound visual resources.
