Thaddaeus Ropac Hosts Ayumi Paul Performance for Kiefer Exhibition's Final Day
The Facts
On June 9, 2026, Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac Paris Pantin announced a performance by violinist and composer Ayumi Paul. Titled "Concert in 4 parts", the piece will be performed twice on the last day of Anselm Kiefer's exhibition "Für Andrea Emo". Created in response to Kiefer's new series, the performance was first staged on April 21. Paul, based in Berlin, works across site-specific concert, composition, performance, and installation, emphasizing sound from body and materials. She trained at Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler and Indiana University and made her solo debut at the Berlin Philharmonic Hall in 2003.
The Signal
The performance reflects the gallery's commitment to integrating live art into exhibition programming. Paul's increasing presence in visual art contexts—including shows at Kunsthalle Osnabrück, Esther Schipper, and National Gallery Singapore—indicates a broader trend of classical music intersecting with contemporary art. For the art market, such collaborations add experiential value to gallery shows, here amplifying engagement with Kiefer's new body of work.
