JOHAN CRETEN - LES CHIENS DE PAVLOV
GALERIE PERROTIN · PARIS MARAIS
05.09.2026 - 10.10.2026
OPENING 05.09.2026 (4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.)

Through sculptures, ceramics, bronzes, drawings, and installations, Johan Creten brings together personal history and technological archaeology. Mythology and contemporary politics intertwine to examine the mechanisms of power and desire. Humour, tragedy, political critique, and metaphysical reflection converge in a deliberately unsettling exhibition. Poised between ruin and prophecy, the exhibition offers a meditation on legacy, memory, and the futures our societies continue to shape.
