Alongside a rich exhibition programming, starting this spring, the three museums of Pinault Collection will each be hosting an animatronic work by the artist Ryan Gander forming his mice trilogy (The Trilogy, 2018-2020). Emerging from tiny holes set up in the walls of the Bourse de Commerce, Palazzo Grassi and Punta della Dogana, these mice discreetly animate the spaces, philosophising and attracting the attention of visitors, who are invited to lean in to listen more closely to what they have to say. 

Equipped with a battery, trapped in its programmatic loop, these mice make the visitor stop on their route, confuse them and create an illusion. Trapped in an endless cycle until exhaustion, they make us reflect on and smile about our condition.

Using objects and facts drawn from his personal experience, Ryan Gander develops a generous practice that engages with the imagination and dreams.
