Tate Modern, Julio Le Parc: Light. Colour. Action, June 11, 2026 – May 3, 2027

“Tate Modern opens an exhibition dedicated to the visionary work of Julio Le Parc (1928-2026). Organised in close collaboration with the artist and his Atelier, the exhibition features over 60 works spanning Le Parc’s extraordinary 70-year career, including interactive installations, striking light sculptures, and geometric abstract paintings. Arranged in a winding, maze-like manner, the exhibition follows Le Parc’s career-long mission to activate the viewer, using optical effects, sensory experiences and physical interactions to make audiences aware of the role they can play in bringing art to life.”—Tate Modern
