Our favorite exhibitions at the end of September? Louis Janmot at the Musée d’Orsay, author of “compositions of staggering modernity which herald the great surrealists of the 20th century” according to our journalist Joséphine Bindé, and Gérard Zlotykamien at the Mathgoth gallery, a pioneer of urban art “for too long remained in the shadows,” Malika Bauwens tells us.
Fans of immersive exhibitions will hurry as for them to reserve their places for the last days of “Eternal Mucha” at the immersive Grand Palais, and will make an appointment for the next openings: “Zidane, a portrait of the 21st century” at the Philharmonie de Paris, “Océans, the immersive Odyssey” at the Atelier des Lumières and “Disappeared Worlds” at the Natural History Museum!
1. Relax, you’re at the museum…
Introductory room, work at child height Carnavalet museum – History of Paris
i
Museums are no longer just places of knowledge and delight. Wanting to welcome an increasingly large audience, many of them have multiplied their activities as so many doors opening onto art… Including those linked to well-being, such as yoga or meditation. The Carnavalet museum, dedicated to the history of Paris, goes even further by programming an entire weekend of exercise. Baby visits, discovery of art therapy, Sunday yoga session in the Wendel ballroom, meditation inspired by the writings of Proust: there is something for all tastes and all ages!

2. A free concert in Garges-lès-Gonesse
Identities with Catherine Lara and the Kumo company
By moving from Issy-les-Moulineaux to Garges-lès-Gonesse, the Cube increased from 700 to 8,000 square meters. Now a digital art center, cinema, media library, performance hall, and so on, the place (which, we hope, has already been able to forget the vandalism to which it was subjected a few years ago month) happily detains us for a whole day… Why not this Saturday, since a major free concert is organized there: the violinist Catherine Lara and the dancers from the Kumo company will together question our relationship to identity in the contemporary era. PS: just remember to register online!

3. At the Center Pompidou, Katerina Andreou dances distress
Katerina Andreou, Mourn Baby Mourn
i
Here’s a promising one-on-one: programmed in partnership with the excellent Autumn Festival, the show Mourn Baby Mourn was conceived by its choreographer and sole performer Katerina Andreou as the exploration of a current distress, as intimate as it is collectively shared… Which the Greek dancer living in France tries to overcome, not without courage and beauty. A highly anticipated third solo, which takes over the stage of the Center Pompidou for forty-five minutes.

4. It’s free! A superb discovery at the Marcelle Alix gallery
Armineh Negahdari, Last vision2023
i
Diptych: Oil painting, charcoal and oil pastel on paper • 2 x (180 × 120 cm) • Courtesy Marcelle Alix, Paris / Photo Aurélien Mole
She’s not even thirty years old. Armineh Negahdari (born in 1994) studied art and architecture in Tehran before emigrating to France, where she landed at the Clermont-Ferrand art school. For her second (already!) exhibition within the walls of the excellent Marcelle Alix gallery, the Iranian presents a series of drawings and sculptures where the freedom of Cy Twombly-style scribbles becomes the expression of great violence. A moving work, as fragile in its form as it is powerful in its mastery, which must be seen in real life.

5. For kids: at the Musée d’Orsay, children go on a trip!
“Around the World” workshop at the Musée d’Orsay
i
Do you have children between six and eight years old? Suggest that they take their own world tour in the aisles of masterpieces at the Musée d’Orsay, which is organizing a two-hour workshop this Saturday dedicated to creating a travel diary. Forty-five minutes are first devoted to a thematic tour of the collections, then 1 hour 15 minutes in the notebook (drawing, painting and collage). Good news: the price is very low (6 euros)!
