In the footsteps of Pierre Huyghe, Philippe Parreno and Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, who are among the leading mid-career French artists, and now younger artists such as Adel Abdessemed, Saâdane Afif and Yto Barrada, who have acquired international visibility, a young, creative and dynamic scene is emerging today in France, comprised of artists born between the mid-seventies and the early eighties. This scene is just starting to be shown in Paris at ARC/Musée d’art moderne de la Ville de Paris, Palais de Tokyo, Plateau and Espace Ricard. Some are emerging from art schools such as the postgraduate school at Paris La Seine, Palais de Tokyo’s Pavillon, or the École des Beaux-Arts in Lyon. This promising generation is characterized by strong diversity, influenced on one hand by a firmly rooted conceptual heritage with practices that combine cinema and music, and, on the other hand, by a formal generosity and a return to sculpture; many works explore questions of identity and cultural heritage specific to French history, in particular in relation to Algeria.

2019 DUPLICA • “I have a naïve dream about a perfect world. But it is not perfect yet and so unfortunately we still need exhibitions about female artists, and in this case female African artists.” – Koyo Kouoh. Koyo Kouoh: “I always thought that gender should not be an issue in art, but despite wishful thinking, female artists are still totally underrepresented in comparison to males, especially female artists of non-Western backgrounds.” According to Koyo this is the result of a lack of interest in the Western world for other cultures. She points out the shared history between Africa and Europe. “Europeans cannot say the African continent is too far from them”, Koyo states.

Koyo Kouoh, a Cameroonian woman based in Senegal, is the guest curator of ‘Body Talk: Feminism, Sexuality and the Body in the Work of Six African Women Artists’ at the Contemporary Art Centre WIELS in Brussels. Her goal for this exhibition is on the one hand to raise the profile of female African artists and on the other to explore the body as a mindscape or territory for investigation.Lack of interest from the West?
