New Skies, New Earth at the Foreign Mission

Always, the artist has a special role. They stand at the boundary of the real and the imaginary, opening the doors to a new world and offering us a fresh perspective on the land around us. They give form to the invisible and shape the future. It’s this poetic and hopeful philosophy that the Foreign Mission of Paris highlights by inviting seven artists from the Far East to express themselves. Painting, sculpture, photography, installation, video—all mediums will be used here to take us on a journey to new skies…
