Art & Language ‘The Mirror Effect’ at Château de Montsoreau – Museum of Contemporary Art, Loire Valley, France

17 July 2025

Until 3 November 2025, the Château de Montsoreau – Museum of Contemporary Art presents ‘The Mirror Effect’, a new exhibition celebrating 60 years of the pioneering collective Art & Language.

Located in the Loire Valley and housed in a historic Renaissance château, the museum holds the world’s largest collection of works by Art & Language, assembled by collector Philippe Méaille, and has been at the forefront of promoting conceptual art on an international scale. Curated by Lara Pan, renowned researcher and curator, this major exhibition brings together over 50 international artists to reflect on the enduring legacy of Art & Language and its profound influence on contemporary artistic practices.

Rooted in a nuanced web of theoretical, political, practical, and experimental thought, Art & Language critically engaged with how language constructs meaning, interrogating the functions of art as a site of discourse. Their work continues to challenge and inform contemporary artistic practice by questioning institutional frameworks and the boundaries between art, theory and philosophy.
