Description
The exhibition follows Le Parc from early geometric experiments to environments using projected light, mirrors, movement and participation. His goal was not simply visual spectacle: he wanted to remove some of the hierarchy between artwork and spectator. Games, unstable reflections and shifting illumination make the viewer physically aware of their role in perception. What now feels familiar in immersive art was radical when Le Parc began pursuing it in the 1960s.
Julio Le Parc (1928–2026) was an Argentine-born artist who settled in Paris and co-founded the Groupe de Recherche d’Art Visuel. He became a key figure in kinetic and Op Art, using play and participation as both aesthetic and political tools.
