SPIESTHE EXHIBITION 

15 October 2019

to 9 August 2020



Who hasn’t dreamt of discovering the best kept secrets of espionage? Clichés and fantasies abound about the work of intelligence agents, but where is the actual line between truth and fiction in these stories filled with hidden microphones, miniature cameras, uncertain identities, and clandestine operations?


This new temporary exhibition proposes a unique scenario developed from a passionate, attentive study of espionage that reveals what goes on behind the scenes. The principle mission of the civil servants and military personnel who work for the six main French intelligence agencies – known by their acronyms (DGSE, DGSI, DRM, DRSD, DNRED and Tracfin*) – is to anticipate and prevent threats to national security. The visitor will proceed step by step, like a secret agent, collecting information by using the different methods and tools of intelligence agencies.A unique experience mixing reality and fiction, co-produced by Universcience and TOP – The Oligarchs Productions and Federation Entertainment.

In Colour: Polychrome Sculpture in France 1850-1910

12 June - 9 September 2018





Relatively unknown, 19th century polychrome sculpture is one of the key facets of the history of the discipline. Until the beginning of this century, the only colours permitted in statuary were the white of marble and the monochrome patina of bronzes. But the discovery of the use of polychromy in ancient architecture and sculpture changed people’s perspective, as well as generating heated debate.

The question of applying colour to contemporary sculpture superseded archaeological debates, and pioneering sculptors like Charles Cordier began to specialize in this technique from the 1850s. Once the controversy had died down, colour began to establish its legitimacy of the Second Empire thanks to its decorative character, prevailing under the influence of Symbolism and Art Nouveau as of the 1880s.

The diversity of materials used testifies to the often sophisticated experimentation carried out, which sometimes produced surprising aesthetic results. Painted waxes and marbles, assembled colored marbles, gold and silver bronzes, pâte de verre and enameled stoneware became the new language of a new style of French sculpture, illustrating artists’ flair for experimentation at the end of the century. The major challenge in applying colour to sculpture lay in the illusionism of the representation, as demonstrated by the scandal caused by Degas’ Little Dancer Aged Fourteen. Coloured sculpture would became the preferred medium of Henry Cross, Jean-Léon Gérôme, Louis-Ernest Barrias, Jean-Désiré Ringel d'Illzach, Jean Carriès and Paul Gauguin.

The exhibition presents a selective overview of this very particular aspect of 19th century art through an ensemble of around fifty works from the collections of the Musée d'Orsay.

GHOSTS AND HELLS

The underworld in Asian art




The exhibition focuses its attention on Asian ghost stories, delving into the world of spirits, terror and fantastic creatures as it takes visitors on a journey to the edges of reality, through religious art, theatre, cinema, contemporary design and manga.

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
From Buddhist to J-Horror, from Hokusai prints to Pac-Man, from the Thai spirit culture to horror manga, the figure of the ghost has haunted the Asian imagination for centuries. In China, Thailand and Japan - the lands that the exhibition focuses on - the popular infatuation with terror is very real, and one that permeates a wide variety of cultural productions. From spirits that wander the forest, vengeful cat-women and hungry spirits that return from the dead ("the walking dead") to jumping vampires and yokaïs (supernatural creatures in Japanese folklore), these can appear in multiple guises and play on artistic periods and media.
Ghosts and Hells - the underworld in Asian art explores their omnipresence not only in objects and documents but also in the performing arts, cinema and comics in an attempt to better understand how they work. After all, whilst Buddhism has played its part in the formation of this imagination – implying that souls are in waiting between two reincarnations –, it is indeed on the fringes of religion, in popular and secular art, that the representation of ghosts has truly come into its own
