Loris Gréaud: The Cortical Nights

The exhibition The Cortical Nights revolves around previously unseen and site-specific artworks created for the Petit Palais by the artist.

Enigmatic, delicate, sometimes worrying or even immaterial, Loris Gréaud‘s proposal will haunt the museum which, like a ghost ship, will be permeated by rumors, opaque systems, and singular encounters. The exhibition will innervate the institution and transform it into true sounding board(s), until it becomes the pulsating center of our world.

The Petit Palais invites the visitor to explore a mental archipelago where unclassifiable, expanding creatures, the vibrant song of statues, a garden of multiple ubiquities, the replicated fragrance of the center of the Milky Way, a mobile sculpture that develops at the same rhythm as human hair grows, and a museum you can observe with your eyes closed will echo each other. The infra-thin mirage of the “cortical nights”.
