Turner Prize-winning artist Helen Marten stages epic opera during Art Basel Paris

Turner Prize-winning artist Helen Marten has created an epic opera-like exhibition titled "30 Blizzards." during Art Basel Paris, commissioned by fashion brand Miu Miu. The free exhibition at the Palais d'Iéna in Paris combines installation, video, and performance in a five-channel work activated by 30 performers, staged by theatre director Fabio Cherstich. The work features archetypal characters such as the Fox, the Mother, the Snail, and the Dog Walker, with a libretto written by Marten and music composed by Beatrice Dillon. This marks Marten's first foray into performance, expanding her sculptural and film practice into live, resonant bodies.
