Palais #31 – Natures Mortes

Anne Imhof - Palais #31
On the occasion of Natures Mortes, her carte blanche at the Palais de Tokyo, the artist Anne Imhof is the guest editor-in-chief of issue 31 of the magazine PALAIS.
After laying siege to the German pavilion with her masterpiece Faust, for which she was awarded the Golden Lion at the 2017 Venice Biennale, Anne Imhof has taken hold of the entirety of the Palais de Tokyo to create an all-embracing, polyphonic work. Here, she fuses space and bodies, music and painting, and her own works with those of accomplices—the artist Eliza Douglas and thirty other guests.
In this issue :
Interviews of Anne Imhof and Eliza Douglas by Vittoria Matarrese. Texts by Laurence Bertrand Dorléac, Jean René Étienne, Emma Lavigne, Paul B. Preciado, Catherine Wood, Renaud Gadoury and Hugo Vitrani.
A large selection of images of Anne Imhof's work and project at the Palais de Tokyo, including several exhibition views, and of the works of the contemporary and historical artists featured in the Natures Mortes.
With Alvin Baltrop, Mohamed Bourouissa, Eugène Delacroix, Trisha Donnelly, Eliza Douglas, Cyprien Gaillard, Théodore Géricault, David Hammons, Eva Hesse, Mike Kelley, Jutta Koether, Klara Lidén, Joan Mitchell, Oscar Murillo, Eadweard Muybridge, Cady Noland, Precious Okoyomon, Francis Picabia, Giovanni Battista Piranesi, Sigmar Polke, Bunny Rogers, Sturtevant, Yung Tatu, Paul Thek, Wolfgang Tillmans, Rosemarie Trockel, Cy Twombly, Adrián Villar Rojas.

Anne Imhof (born 1978 in Giessen) is a German visual artist. Her performance-oriented work also includes drawing, painting, music and installation. After training in Frankfurt am Main at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste-Städelschule, one of Germany's most prestigious art schools, while immersed in the city's club and music scene, the artist has quickly established herself as a prominent figure in contemporary art through her radical work. In 2017, she received the Golden Lion for the best pavilion at the Venice Biennale.
