April in Paris – Exhibitions – GARDEN OF LOVE

"Garden of love" Installation by Yinka Shonibare at the Musee Quai Branly in Paris till 8, July 2007
Proposed by the London-based Nigerian-born artist, Yinka Shonibare, the installation Garden of Love draws inspiration from French-style gardens and invites the public to embark on an amazing journey.
In the "garden" – between foliage, fountains and copses – visitors will stumble upon a strange ballet of love… Yinka Shonibare presents here his thoughts on identity and history in a blend of his native and adopted cultures.
