Frith Street Gallery Le Molière | Pop-up project

Frith Street Gallery Le Molière Pop-up project 40 rue de Richelieu, 75001 Paris 19–25 October 2026 Monday–Saturday 9am–8pm Sunday 10am–5pm We are delighted to return to Paris this autumn with a special pop-up project at 40 rue de Richelieu coinciding with Art Basel Paris. This year Frith Street Gallery Le Molière focuses on important works by four gallery artists: Dayanita Singh employs photography to reflect and expand on the ways in which we relate to images. Her recent works, drawn from an extensive photographic oeuvre, are a series of mobile museums that allow images to be edited, sequenced, stored and displayed. Stemming from Singh’s interest in the archive, the museums present her photographs as interconnected bodies of work that are replete with both poetic and narrative possibilities. Singh will present a major new multi part installation in Paris entitled Museo delle sedie. The work of Romani artist, educator, and activist Małgorzata Mirga-Tas addresses anti-Roma stereotypes and engages in building an affirmative iconography of Roma communities. The artist’s vibrant textile collages are created from materials and fabrics collected from family and friends, which imbues them with a life of their own and a corresponding immediacy. Her sumptuous patchworks made of curtains, jewellery, shirts, and sheets depict everyday life, relationships, alliances and shared activities. Tacita Dean is internationally acclaimed for her analogue films which are celebrated for their material precision and poetic depth. Throughout her career she has also devoted sustained attention to the act of drawing, which is never merely preparatory but rather a mode of thinking in itself. Our Paris presentation will include several recent pieces made on found school slates, these works with their delicate surfaces are marked by their own histories together with Dean’s exquisite chalk drawings of clouds, planets and trails of light. Cornelia Parker is concerned with formalising forces beyond our control, containing the volatile and transforming it into something that is quiet and contemplative. She is fascinated with processes that mimic archetypal cartoon ‘deaths’ – explosions, steamrollering, being shot full of holes, and falling from cliffs. Through a combination of visual and verbal allusions, her work triggers cultural metaphors and personal associations, which allow the viewer to witness the transformation of the most ordinary objects into something compelling and extraordinary. The exhibition will include several new Alter Ego sculptures consisting of pairs of suspended silver-plated objects, one intact and one flattened, as well as a selection of the artist’s drawings which demonstrate her endlessly inventive approach to the medium. Frith Street Gallery Le Molière is located by Jardins du Palais Royal and a short walk from major cultural landmarks such as the Louvre, the Bourse de Commerce, Collection Pinault and Fondation Cartier pour l'Art Contemporain.
