"The Strange City" under construction.


PARIS.- Since 2007, Monumenta, a major Paris-based arts event, has been commissioning internationally renowned artists to create large-scale installations for the nave of the Grand Palais – a vast building measuring 35 metres high with a glass rooftop that covers 13,500 square metres. Anselm Kiefer, Richard Serra, Christian Boltanski, Anish Kapoor and Daniel Buren have successively risen to the challenge to create works for Monumenta.

For the event’s sixth edition, Russian-born artists Ilya and Emilia Kabakov, celebrated internationally for their large-scale projects and ambitious installations, invite viewers to lose themselves in the maze of an imaginary town: “The Strange City”.
