The Pinault Collection is presenting a new season of exhibitions at the Bourse de Commerce from February to September 2023. “Before the Storm” features a series of installations and works from the Collection—some emblematic, others previously unseen—by artists who will transform all of the museum’s spaces.

Against the backdrop of our current climate emergency, as we find ourselves in the eye of the cyclone, this novel presentation of works touches on the light and the dark, spring and winter, sunshine and rain, and the human and the non-human. These unstable landscapes, formed in an unsynchronised time cycle, depict new ecosystems in which visitors can immerse themselves.

This two-staged themed season opens on 8 February with Danh Vo’s monumental new installation created for the Rotunda, and once more at the end of May with the exhibition of Tacita Dean’s works in the Rotunda and in Gallery 2.
