Rmn – Grand Palais selected for artistic component of Astana International Exhibition 2017. The “Astana EXPO-2017” International Exhibition, which is being held in the capital of Kazakhstan from 10 June to 10 September 2017 on the theme of “FUTURE ENERGY”, is inviting visitors to think about the significance of this vital question to humanity, determining as it does the economic and social development of present and future generations. The Astana Contemporary Art Center of Expo Astana 2017, at the centre of the international exhibition site, will play host, alongside the Moscow Garage Museum of Contemporary Art, to the Rmn-Grand Palais, which is presenting, in preview, an exhibition on artificial imagination called “Artists & Robots”, curated by Miguel Chevalier and Jérôme Neutres. This initiative forms part of the international development strategy of the Rmn – Grand Palais, and builds on its position as one of Europe’s leading cultural actors. This is the first leg of the “Artists & Robots” exhibition and it will later be presented at the Grand Palais in Paris from March to July 2018 in an expanded version before travelling to other countries.
