A Hot Afternoon

Oct 20 - Dec 18, 2026

Beaux-Arts de Paris

In the fall of 2026, the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris will dedicate an exhibition to a recent acquisition, A Hot Afternoon by Gina Pane (1977). Of Italian origin and trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, this artist is one of the leading figures in body art

She creates performances that she calls “actions,” which give rise to visual compositions, or “constatations.” Comprising 29 elements (19 photographs and 10 preparatory drawings accompanied by texts) arranged according to a logic that is more formal than narrative, the “constat” of *A Hot Afternoon* documents the action conceived in 1977 for Documenta 6 in Kassel.
