Bill Viola, Grand Palais (Grand Palace), March 5 - July 28
Bill Viola's name always draws attention, regardless of whether he is performing yet another wonder on the stage of a world-renown opera theatre or in an exhibition hall. Viola is a pioneer of video art, whose installations are designed to stimulate both the visual and hearing senses of the viewer, generating a hallucinatory effect. The themes of his works focus on such fundamental human issues as birth, life and death, drawing from the art and traditions of both the West and the East. The comprehensive retrospective at the Grand Palais features works that the artist has created from 1977 to the present, including moving paintings and monumental installations.
