To mark its 20th anniversary, MAC VAL presents Forever Young (20 and 1 artists), a symbolic and forward-looking exhibition echoing the special anniversary display Le genre idéal, inaugurated in March 2025. Located in the heart of Val-de-Marne, the museum has established itself since 2005 as a leading institution for contemporary art in France, committed to innovation, dialogue, and the renewal of audiences.

Forever Young brings together works by 20 emerging artists, most born between 1990 and 2000, whose practices reflect the urgencies and diversity of our time across photography, sculpture, installation, drawing, video, and painting. The exhibition highlights the MAC VAL as a place of discovery, where encounters with artworks, artists, and shared experiences shape artistic trajectories. A special tribute is dedicated to Mehryl Ferri Levisse (1983–2023), whose work has been closely linked to the history of the museum.
