Meredith Martin
Meredith Martin is a professor of art history at New York University and a specialist in eighteenth-century French art, particularly in relation to histories of colonialism and enslavement. She is a co-creator of the digital project Colonial Networks: Remapping the "Paris" Art World in Haiti/Saint-Domingue.
Installed in the mansion’s Louis XV-inspired drawing room, Amie Siegel’s Vues/Views (2024) consists of a large double-sided screen that seems to float in the center of the low-lit space, with fragments of panoramic wallpaper on one side and a film on the other.
Raphaël Barontini’s latest exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris cements his status as one of the most vibrant contemporary voices to engage with France’s colonial past, and specifically with the lives of the Black freedom fighters who resisted oppression in the Caribbean around the time of the Haitian Revolution (1791–1804).
