"Normes Corps": the spring-summer 2026 season at the Palais de Tokyo
Palais de Tokyo, 13 avenue du Président Wilson - 75116 Paris
From 3 April to 13 September 2026
The Palais de Tokyo explores notions of vulnerability, fragility and deviation from the norm with a multidisciplinary season featuring international artists
From April 3 to September 13, 2026, the Palais de Tokyo is rolling out its new "Normes Corps" season. This cycle of exhibitions invites the public to rethink the place of minority bodies and the notion of vulnerability in contemporary society. Through a variety of forms, from the most abstract to the most directly militant, the art center located a stone's throw from the Eiffel Tower becomes a space for reflection and sensory experiences that shake up preconceived ideas. The season is divided into two parts, with six major exhibitions opening on 3 April 2026, followed by two more opening on 5 June 2026.
🎯From 3 April 2026
📌Pauline Curnier Jardin - Virages vierges : a major monograph combining theatre and cinema to explore the fluidity between power and vulnerability in female bodies
📌[Cathy de Montchaux - Studio, Wounds and Battles...] (https://palaisdetokyo.com/exposition/studio-wounds-and-battles-desire-is-the-reiteration-of-hope/) : the first retrospective of the British artist who mixes materials, from velvet to metal, to shake up the benchmarks of desire and power
📌Benoît Piéron - Vernis à ombres : a disturbing installation that subverts the aesthetics of healthcare to create gentle, dreamlike narratives around the experience of illness
