Thomas Hirschhorn features in 'Les grands Ensembles'
Group exhibition 'Les grands Ensembles' brings together twenty artists as a collective whose works involve an exploration of public space, architecture and related societal themes. The presentation includes recent works, historical pieces, archives and commissions. Alongside this, a creative residency centre, symposium and publication delve further into the history of social housing in the city of Vélizy-Villacoublay.
