The Palais de Tokyo has invited M/M (Paris) to put on display some of the major artworks from one of the most prestigious collections of contemporary art in Europe, The Dakis Joannou Collection. For two months a veritable visual opera will occupy the whole Palais de Tokyo, bringing together under one roof major artworks by some of the leading artists of the last two decades. Plunged by M/M (Paris) into an unexpected multiform graphic context, essential works of art will go through multiple translations.
