Every Palais de Tokyo exhibition is built with the complicity and commitment of a group of people – often unknown to the general public – known as “the assemblers”. It is they who build, assemble and finally bring to life in the Palais de Tokyo spaces the most audacious projects conceived by the artists. Many of these assemblers are also artists. The Palais de Tokyo has decided to entrust them with more than 1,500 m², so that they in turn, as artists, craftsmen or creators, can take possession of the place they know so well, in their own special way. “Le Palais des monteurs” is more than an exhibition, it’s a living testimony, a hybrid, generous form, endowed with a singular energy that enables us both to discover and publicize new practices, and to salute and thank those who, day after day, make the Palais de Tokyo a Palais for artists.
