The Foundation adds one work from each winner to its collection and showcases their talent at the artgen\u00e8ve art fair. The winners are also invited to exhibit their work individually at a Swiss museum, providing excellent visibility to the up-andcoming artists. MBAL, attuned to the research being carried out at art schools in French-speaking Switzerland, has teamed up with the New Heads \u2013 BNP Paribas Art Foundation Awards this year to display the work of French laureate&nbsp;<strong>Thomas Liu Le Lann<\/strong>&nbsp;(b. 1994). Liu Le Lann\u2019s piece, developed during his time at HEAD, is titled ShowDown and creates a fictional world featuring large plush dolls inspired by Japanese mangas and reminiscent of South Korea\u2019s K-pop culture. Liu Le Lann\u2019s \u201csoft sculptures\u201d lie indolently on the ground and blur the lines between fetishism, violence and robotics while at the same time evoking more bowdlerized elements of pop culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This exhibition was produced with the support of HEAD and the BNP Paribas Swiss Foundation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"83\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mbal.ch\/mbalwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/logo_LeLann-1024x83.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-638\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mbal.ch\/mbalwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/logo_LeLann-1024x83.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mbal.ch\/mbalwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/logo_LeLann-300x24.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mbal.ch\/mbalwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/logo_LeLann-768x63.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mbal.ch\/mbalwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/logo_LeLann-1536x125.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mbal.ch\/mbalwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/logo_LeLann-2048x167.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.mbal.ch\/mbalwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/logo_LeLann.jpg 1134w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1123,"template":"","class_list":["post-1457","exposition","type-exposition","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Thomas Liu Le Lann - MBAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mbal.ch\/en\/expo\/thomas-liu-le-lann\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Thomas Liu Le Lann - MBAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"New Heads \u2013 Fondation BNP Paribas Art Awards The&nbsp;BNP Paribas Swiss Foundation, in association with the&nbsp;Geneva School of Art and Design (HEAD), launched the New Heads \u2013 BNP Paribas Art Foundation Awards in 2012 to recognize two promising young graduates every year.
