Ah, to be in Paris in the summertime, when it’s almost as pleasant to lounge in a park as it is to venture into the capital’s museums. In fact, the two are often best enjoyed when they’re linked: napping on the grass after discovering a cutting-edge artist in a new gallery is, in our opinion, one of the best ways you can spend a Sunday afternoon.
Whether you’re in France for Vogue World, vacances, or some combination of the two, there are all manner of compelling exhibitions to see this month. From work by self-taught American artist Kelly Beeman to a new Miquel Barceló survey, Vogue has selected the must-see gallery and museum shows in Paris (and beyond) this June.
Franco-American photographer and sculptor Sabine Mirlesse has long made geology the focus of her work. Her installations, both monumental and ephemeral, invite viewers to see the poetry in visions we might consider trivial—take Crystalline Thresholds | Les Portes de Givre, a series of seven frosted structures erected on the summit of the Puy de Dôme at an altitude of 1,465 meters. With “Voyant,” her new exhibition at Galerie Andréhn-Schiptjenko, Sabine Mirlesse continues to pursue her obsessions, unveiling a new series of never-before-exhibited works.
“Sabine Mirlesse: Voyant” is at Andréhn-Schiptjenko (Paris) through July 20, 2024.
