Chiharu Shiota Weaves Threads of Memory and Emotion at the Grand Palais

Running from December 11, 2024, to March 19, 2025, this landmark showcase spans over 1,200 square meters and includes monumental installations, sculptures, drawings, and archival materials from her 20+ year career.

Known for her intricate, web-like installations crafted with interwoven threads, Shiota invites visitors into ethereal spaces that challenge perceptions of memory, absence, and connection. One such centerpiece is Uncertain Journey, a stunning composition of red wool and a metal frame that feels simultaneously fragile and enduring.

This exhibition is a departure from her more intimate New York shows, such as the one at MoMA PS1 in 2003, yet the emotional resonance remains universal. Through her art, Shiota conveys the tremors of the soul, drawing from personal experiences and the collective human condition.

Don’t miss the chance to experience the awe-inspiring craft of an artist who transforms spaces into immersive realms of wonder and introspection.
