Aux temps du sida. Œuvres, récits et entrelacs Group exhibition featuring Robert Mapplethorpe and Miquel Barceló at the Musée d'Art Moderne et Contemporain de Strasbourg, Strasbourg, France

6 October 2023—4 February 2024
Musée d'Art Moderne et Contemporain de Strasbourg, Strasbourg, France
A multidisciplinary exhibition, « In the Days of AIDS » presents four decades of creation in which the visual arts, literature, music, cinema and dance have joined up with scientific research, popular culture and decisive action
by the associations.

Designed as a chrono-thematic journey seeking to plunge the visitor into a maelstrom of sensations and questionings, the exhibition is divided into sections. This division emphasizes the energies brought into play – and the interweavings between them – in order to counter something that, to quote Elisabeth Lebovici, is not just an illness but a scandal. The works arranged in the exhibition space are accompanied by INA audiovisual montages that bring together objects and archives linked to the history of AIDS. The scenography, immersive or fostering intimacy, offers a visit in which sensations play a major part and reflects the diversity of the fields of creation occupied by this project, relying on the life drive that vitalizes creation.
