Info
From 2024 to the summer of 2026, Kader Attia and Elizabeth Peyton are the Louvre's Hosts. Kader Attia (born 1970 in Dugny, living and working in Paris and Berlin) is known for his work at the border of forms and reflections, between sensitive inquiry and contemporary thought. Elizabeth Peyton (born 1965 in Connecticut, living and working in Paris and New York) makes painting resonate through the art of portraiture. For two years, they inhabited the physical and imagined spaces of the Louvre. There they had a studio, created, conversed with its teams, and were part of its audiences. Studio neighbors, they now share the Chapel's exhibition space to reveal the fruits of their respective journeys within the museum: the film and installation, in the case of Kader Attia, are inspired by his own intimate engagement with the institution, contemplating the fluctuation of eras, memories, and gazes, turning the gaze into an object. The paintings and drawings for Elizabeth Peyton are likewise reinterpretations of the Louvre's works, produced since her earliest years, alongside depictions of subjects that traverse history and the contemporary, in her palace studio. Their cross-reading of the institution reveals the resources of the museum and the works it preserves, a source of creation for the artists as well as for every visitor.
