Voûtes et Volutes, by Pinaffo and Pluvinage

Be amazed by Voûtes et Volutes, the installation by artists Marion Pinaffo and Raphaël Pluvinage echoing the exhibition Niki de Saint Phalle, Jean Tinguely and Pontus Hulten. This suspended work comes to life in an interplay of balance, form and movement, inspired by Loïe Fuller's aerial dance. Conceived as part of the partnership between the GrandPalaisRmn and the Centre Pompidou,Voûtes et Volutes is part of a program dedicated to artistic discovery. Extend the experience by activating the installation in a multitude of ways, thanks to the games and activities on offer at Le comptoir Jeux!
