The Grand Palais’ latest exhibition, Chiharu Shiota. The Soul Trembles. is dedicated to the poetic work of Chiharu Shiota, a Japanese artist world-renowned for her monumental installations of interlacing wool yarn—giant canvases which often envelop objects from her everyday life and invite viewers on a majestic, dreamlike journey.

Co-organised with the Mori Art Museum, Tokyo, this exhibition is the largest ever devoted to the artist in France. Covering over 1,200 square metres, it offers a sensitive experience. With seven large-scale installations sculptures, photographs, drawings, performance videos and archive documents related to its staging project, the exhibition represents an opportunity for visitors to familiarise themselves with Shiota’s career, which spans over twenty years.

Please join us for a guided visit to Chiharu Shiota. The Soul Trembles at the Grand Palais on Thursday, February 20, 2025.

The event is open to all AFMO members.
