'Hosts at the Louvre' Kader Attia and Elizabeth Peyton

Kader Attia and Elizabeth Peyton are the 2024–2026 Hosts at the Louvre.
For two years, they inhabited the spaces – both physical and imaginary – of the Louvre. Each had a studio on the premises, where they created, conversed with museum personnel, and engaged with the public.

Previously studio neighbours, they now share the temporary exhibition space in the Salle de la Chapelle, where the results of their respective sojourns in the museum are on display for all to see. For Attia, this means a film and an installation inspired by his own intimate meanderings in the Louvre, contemplating the fluctuations of ages, memories, and gazes, turning his own vision into a subject.
