“Chaosmos” is an invitation to 12 artists to tell us about the cosmos and invent new ways of inhabiting the Earth. Welcome to Chaosmos, a world that deconstructs, in order to better reconstruct, in time and space, the place in the universe that we attribute to ourselves and the way in which we inhabit the world, the traces that we leave there, the links that we establish there. From this precariously balanced zone emerge the works of twelve contemporary artists, from several countries around the world: South Africa, Belgium, Canada, Spain, France, Guyana, Japan, Democratic Republic of Congo, Zambia. They evoke the relationship between our conception of the cosmos and our attitude towards the preservation of life on Earth.

The latest creation of the Atelier des Lumières takes you on the first steps of naive art in France. Spontaneous, dreamlike, sometimes childish, this new approach to painting is embodied in the works of Henri Rousseau. At the end of the 19th century, this self-taught painter and pioneer of naive art drew his inspiration from observing in detail the vegetation and animals from elsewhere, from the greenhouses and menagerie of the Jardin des Plantes in Paris. Mocked by his contemporaries, but admired by avant-gardists such as Delaunay, Apollinaire, Picasso and Kandinsky, his idealistic painting with bright colors and clumsy perspectives would later allow him to free himself from the academic standards of the time by opening the way to modernity in painting. Henri Rousseau makes you rediscover the Paris of the industrial era, populated by frozen characters who observe us under a sky where zeppelins and hot air balloons float. Without ever having left France, he also weaves the colorful story in the heart of a dense plant kingdom where the eyes of tigers pierce the foliage and the landscapes transport us to imaginary lands. In this parallel universe where the reality of everyday life is invaded by a profusion of dreamlike details, the one who was nicknamed "Customs Officer" because of his job at the Paris grant, invites us to escape by dreaming with our eyes wide open, from France to a jungle with the scent of Eden.

Fools are everywhere. But are the fools of today the same as the fools of yesteryear? This fall, the Musée du Louvre is dedicating an unprecedented exhibition to the myriad figures of the fool, which permeated the pictorial landscape of the 13th to the 16thcenturies. Over the course of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, the fool came to occupy every available artistic space, insinuating himself into illuminated manuscripts, printed books and engravings, tapestries, paintings, sculptures, and all manner of objects both precious and mundane. His fascinating, perplexing and subversive figure loomed large in the turmoil of an era not so different from our own. The exhibition examines the omnipresence of fools in Western art and culture at the end of the Middle Ages, and attempts to parse the meaning of these figures, who would seem to play a key role in the advent of modernity. The fool may make us laugh, with his abundance of frivolous antics, but he also harbours a wealth of hidden facets of an erotic, scatological, tragic or violent nature. Capable of the best and of the worst, the fool entertains, warns or denounces; he turns societal values on their head and may even overthrow the established order. Within the newly renovated Hall Napoléon, this exhibition, which brings together over 300works from 90French, European and American institutions, brings us on a one-of-a-kind journey through Northern European art (English, Flemish, Germanic, and above all French), illuminating the profane aspects of the Middle Ages and revealing a fascinating era of surprising complexity. The exhibition explores the disappearance of the figure of the fool with the Enlightenment and the triumph of reason, and its resurgence at the end of the 18thcentury and all throughout the 19th. The fool then became a figure with which artists identified, wondering: ‘What if I were the fool?’

This exhibition will bring together more than 70 works of trompe l'oeil from public institutions and private collections, spanning the 16th to the 21st century, and reviewing the development of the European trompe l'oeil art tradition. The exhibition will discuss some lesser-known aspects of trompe l'oeil art, such as its decorative use, its political influence in revolutionary history, and the interpretation of trompe l'oeil by modern and contemporary artists.
