The exhibition “Global(e) Rsistance” sets out new criteria in history of collection of the Musée national d’art moderne, Centre Pompidou, through more than a hundred works by contemporary artists – all acquired over the last decade – primarily from the “Global South” (Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Latin America).
The exhibition examines the aesthetic and ethical strategies of resistance implemented by these artists. From political struggles to postconlonial issues, including thoses linked to the environment pr gender-related, they respond to the urgeny of the present moment while also proposing new alternatives.

Yuan Jai produces large-format works using ink on silk, a base she appreciates for the relief in its weave and its capacity to support the weight of colours obtained from mineral pigments. The vibrant colours reflect the attention to detail, the jubilatory and organic expansion of forms reflects the mastery of stroke acquired through a long practice of calligraphy. Luxurious landscapes, phantasmagorical bestiaries, biographical elements and contemporary motifs are intermingled with references to the history of European and Oriental art …

In 2017, the Toyota Municipal Museum of Art presented the exhibition “Abstract Art as Impact” curated by Kenjiro Okazaki. By revealing the actual and real power that abstract art originally possessed, this exhibition subverted the monotonous view of Modernism in art history, offering many inspirations and new insights to the viewers. As the next step, they are presenting a solo exhibition featuring Okazaki’s own works and encompassing the entirety of his multifold activities.

As part of the collection, Paris Museum of Modern Art is devoting an exhibition to Peng Wan Ts, for the artist’s 80th birthday and on the occasion of his donation to the museum of one of his most important compositions, Le Banquet (1981-2006).

The contemporary exhibition “L’Asie Maintenant” invests the permanent collections, in the main building Place d’Iéna and in the Hôtel d’Heidelbach, presenting a profusion of works, a number of which have been donated by the artists.
