Summary: For the first time in France, the Museum of Modern Art Saint-Etienne Métropole presents a museum monographic exhibition on Barthélémy Toguo. Born in Cameroon in 1967, he lives and works in Bandjoun, Cameroon, and Paris. Tireless traveller and artist of international fame, he has been developing his work through performances, installations, photographs, drawings and paintings for 25 years. True to his approach of staging his artworks in a given space, the artist takes the visitor to travel across his world in the form of a space traversed by a gigantic spider web. In Cameroon bamileke culture, this animal is a symbol of wisdom, patience and freedom and lets us perceive a more universal vision of life and look critically at our society, free to enjoy celebrating the beauty of shapes.
