SOUS INFLUENCES AT LA MAISON ROUGE

Sous Influences: Plastic Arts and Psychotropics opens today at La Maison Rouge, examining the highs and lows of art’s longstanding relationship with psychedelic substances. Sous Influences seeks to deliver answers, casting an all-seeing eye into the hallways of intoxication, epiphany, addiction, and even death via works by artists including Adel Abdessemed, Antonin Artaud, Basquiat, Hans Bellmer, the Chapuisat Brothers, Larry Clark, Nan Goldin, Irvin Penn, Takashi Murakami, Nam June Paik and Francis Picabia, and featuring both works that have a psychotropic effect on the viewer, and works produced under the effect of psychoactive substances.
Until 19 May. Wed-Sun 11am-7pm (Thu 11am-9pm).
Maison Rouge, 10 bd de la Bastille, 12th. M° Quai de la Rapée. 01.40.01.08.81. www.lamaisonrouge.org/
