Palais #35

As a prefiguration of its new formula, this issue of the Palais de Tokyo magazine is accompanying, but above all deepening and deploying the exhibition “La Morsure des Termites” [The Gnawing of the Termites]. Thanks to an updated and highly subjective archaeology of graffiti, it provides us with the opportunity to investigate what creation coming from urban culture has given to the history of forms, in aesthetic, but also conceptual, social and political terms, through such notions as the construction of identities via collective destruction, subversion of the practices and economies of art, illicit acts, resistance and a form of idealism or romanticism derived from vandalism.
