been shown in international venues including the Palais de
Tokyo (Paris), Institute of Contemporary Art (Boston),
the Centre Georges Pompidou (Paris), the Musée d’Art
Moderne de la Ville de Paris, the Museum Boymans van
Beuningen (Rotterdam), the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, and
the Hara Museum of Contemporary Art (Tokyo).
