Show opens Thursday February 1, 2007 from 8.00 p.m. to midnight : public opening Version française / Download the flyer News from the upside-down Physicists place a short horizontal line above a letter to identify particles of anti-matter. Drawing free inspiration from that annotation which indicates a form of inversion, the Palais de Tokyo presents , five solo exhibitions and two collective shows, permeated by the idea of reversal. After FIVE BILLION YEARS; which questioned the elasticity of time and space, brings together works that behave like oscillators, bridges or tipping points between reality's different polarities. “The a/b relationship lies not in any number c as in a/b=c but rather in the sign ( / ) that separates a and b,” Marcel Duchamp said. Understood in this way, art is no longer a result or a product, but the fraction line itself, the discreet sign of a transformation, the operator of many inversions or reversals.
