Carte blanche for Jean-Marc Dimanche
The exhibition Déplacer la lune (Displacing the Moon) confronts the legacy of modernity with the humanity on the move and nature in rebellion. The works by Martine Feipel & Jean Bechameil build a symbolic tribute to the major population movements caused by the environmental and political upheavals underway. The impoverishment of cities and the need to restore nature to our societies, as well as mass migration, are among the new forms that the landscape of our modern world is taking.
To reclaim this new conception of space by referring to Rimbaud’s walkers, Ctesias’s peoples on the move or all those who have decided to leave everything behind and set off on their own, is for the artists to create a work in which the wild, the unexpected and freedom seem to want to set into movement.

The gallery
Founded in 2013 by Audrey Bossuyt and Nordine Zidoun, Galerie Zidoun-Bossuyt has played a central role in showcasing the works of several influential African-American artists in Europe, at a time when they were not yet widely recognized. Among these artists are Terry Adkins, Njideka Akunyili Crosby, Titus Kaphar, Wangechi Mutu, and Jeff Sonhouse.
In 2022, building on its initial foundation in Luxembourg, the gallery embarked on significant expansion, opening two new locations, one in Dubai (March 2022) and one in Paris (October 2022). The recent expansion is driven by the desire to broaden its exhibition program and represent artists such as Kim Dacres, Yashua Klos, YoYo Lander, Nate Lewis, José Parla, Khalif Tahir Thompson, Summer Wheat, among others.
Driven by a strong commitment to serving institutions, and with Paris being one of the most dynamic cities in the European art scene, Zidoun-Bossuyt continues its expansion there in line with its unique history, a move that strengthens its scope for representing its artists.
