From April 30 to July 26, 2025, the exhibition L'Écologie des choses (The Ecology of Things) at the Maison de la culture du Japon in Paris will offer a renewed reading of the links between artistic practices that emerged in Japan in the late 1960s, against a backdrop of massive reconstruction and industrialization, and those of contemporary artists grappling with current environmental issues.

But more than a simple rereading, the aim of this exhibition is also to underline the singularity with which these artists call upon their medium and their sensibility, not hesitating to shake up their practices and their materials, in order to conceive and share works that are more attentive to our ways of living. In other words, artists who have made the choice, as society has changed, of a certain ecology towards things.
