Thaddaeus Ropac opens FEAR: Art in the Age of Anxiety at its Pantin space on Saturday 7 November, 3-6pm, running through 6 February 2027. The group exhibition gathers thirteen artists — Georg Baselitz, Joseph Beuys, Mandy El-Sayegh, VALIE EXPORT, Harun Farocki, Ron Mueck, Arnulf Rainer, Daniel Richter, Niki de Saint Phalle, Oksana Shachko, Minh-Lan Tran, Günther Uecker and Banks Violette — around fear as a condition of the present.

The works confront the anxieties of the moment: war, eco-anxiety, media-driven panic and the invisible threat of surveillance. The pairing spans generations, from Beuys and EXPORT to El-Sayegh and Tran, treating fear not as a single emotion but as a shared atmosphere that runs through politics, the environment and everyday life.

Banks Violette's Mirror Wall (2007) will be activated during the opening. The installation anchors a show staged in Ropac's large Pantin space at 69 avenue du Général Leclerc, one of the gallery's two Paris venues.
