Raphaël Denis's installation at the mahJ is a memorial reappropriation of the collection of art dealer Paul Rosenberg, a victim of Nazi spoliations. The artist-researcher has been exploring the question of the spoliations of works of art that took place in France during the Second World War for almost a decade, through a series of installations called the Normal Law of Errors.
As part of the Cultural Olympiad, the mahJ is devoting an exhibition to the Hungarian photographer André Steiner, a pioneer of the "New Vision", who expressed his talent by capturing athletic bodies in motion in Paris in the 1930s.
The exhibition retraces the little-known career of dancer Paula Padani (1913-2001) through 120 photographs, posters and costumes. With her vision of movement as a force for life, and her ability to bounce between different countries and cultures, she blazed new trails for her art and played a pioneering role in the emergence of Israeli contemporary dance.
