For Out of Bounds, independent exhibition curator Simon Lamunière has selected 18 international artists from among the exhibiting galleries. He will be exploring contemporary creation as seen through the prism of multiethnicity and the hybridisation of forms and cultures, while addressing questions such as origins, gender, kinship, history and geography. His reflections will give rise to a themed visit and a catalogue presenting the work of each selected artist.
