Lygia Pape's "Weaving Space": An Immersive Art Experience
Prepare to experience art like never before! The Bourse de Commerce in Paris presents "Tisser l'espace" ("Weaving Space"), the first-ever French retrospective of Lygia Pape, a groundbreaking figure of the Brazilian avant-garde. Running from September 10, 2025, to February 23, 2026, this exhibition is a must-see event within the Brazil-France 2025 Season.
An Immersive Journey Through Light and Space
Pape's work transcends traditional art forms, inviting viewers into a sensory journey that blurs the lines between installation, abstraction, and performance. The centerpiece, Ttéia 1, C, is a breathtaking immersive light installation. Copper wires, suspended in a dimly lit space, react to your movements, transforming the artwork in real time. The space itself becomes the medium, a dynamic interplay of light, shadow, and your own physical presence. It's an experience that encourages contemplation and a personal connection with the art.
Beyond the Installation: Prints, Films, and a Legacy
“Weaving Space” is more than just Ttéia 1, C. The exhibition also showcases a range of Pape's creations, from her early abstract etchings that established her visual language to her monumental Livre de la Nuit et du Jour (Book of Night and Day), a diary exploring time, rhythm, and contrast. A selection of experimental films further expands this immersive experience, revealing Pape's multifaceted artistic practice and her engagement with the sociopolitical context of Brazil during a period of significant change. These films offer a powerful lens through which to view both the artist and her time.
A Unique Artistic Experience in Paris
Whether you're a seasoned contemporary art aficionado or simply seeking a unique and moving experience, "Weaving Space" promises a captivating escape. The soothing atmosphere of the Bourse de Commerce provides a perfect setting for this contemplative yet intensely physical encounter with art. You won't just observe; you'll participate, becoming an integral part of Lygia Pape's artistic vision. Don't miss this opportunity to weave your own story into the fabric of this exceptional exhibition. Visit the Bourse de Commerce website for tickets and further information.
