Palais de Tokyo

by Zoë Noble

One of the best things I saw on my recent trip to Paris was definitely the Cold Sun season at the Palais de Tokyo gallery. Featuring a huge array of works inspired by avant-garde poet Raymond Roussel, covering the 1950s to today and spread over 2,000 square metres. My favourite exhibition had to be the work of Julio Le Parc, whose studies of light and movement were simply breath taking. The piece de resistance (had to get some French in there!) was a huge red sphere suspended from the ceiling, casting the most beautiful reflections all over the walls and floor. Cold Sun ends today, but no matter who is exhibiting, the Palais de Tokyo is a Paris must-see.
