"Moebius-Transe-Forme" is the first major show in paris dedicated to giraud's contribution to
the graphic medium, chronicling his earlier work to his more progressive delineation that often goes
beyond the traditional boundaries of the discipline. presented in an impressive collection of
original notebook sketches, comic book panels, paintings, unpublished drawings as well as
an animated film, the exhibition explores the theme of metamorphosis, an overriding motif present
in the artist's body of work.
A collaboration between Moebius and the fondation cartier, the first part of the exhibition
in the jean nouvel-designed building is an account of six major characters from the artist's comics.
featuring a curvy display table unit that recalls characters of a moebius strip defines the ground level
space while directing the viewers along a thematic route. the long glazed facades that flank the room
is outfitted with wall length screens depicting a blown up drawing by Giraud.
