Description

Situated in the heart of Paris, in the Tuileries Gardens within a building dating back to 1862, the Jeu de Paume, a centre for art and international creation, has been a landmark site since 2004 for the presentation of images of the 20th and 21st centuries ranging from photography to cinema, and from video to installation and online creation. As a meeting point for artistic fields, the Jeu de Paume reflects on the place of images in art and society, both in terms of their production and their distribution and reception. Its varied and constantly renewed programme of exhibitions, film cycles, courses, meetings, educational activities, workshops and publications brings together established artists and new talent.
