As part of the new edition of Art Basel Paris, the duo Gener8ion takes over the Grand Palais with a never-before-seen audiovisual installation to be showcased inside the Rotonde d’Antin from October 22 to 25, 2026.
ABC-renowned gathering for many contemporary art lovers, Art Basel returns to Paris this fall. For three days only, the Grand Palais under its glass roof will host 211 exhibitors from 41 countries and territories. The art fair will also unveil a program of outdoor programming, including installations on Place Clémenceau, on Avenue Winston Churchill, at the Palais d’Iéna, on the Parvis des Droits de l’Homme and at the Cité de l’Architecture.

Another installation, presented as part of Art Basel Paris, is also set to generate buzz this autumn. To be unveiled at the Rotonde d’Antin of the Grand Palais, from October 22 to 25, 2026, this piece is created by GENER8ION. Nominated at the recent MTV Video Music Awards, Gener8ion is a French duo formed by electronic composer Surkin and director Romain Gavras, son of filmmaker Costa-Gavras.

Gener8ion is particularly behind the track “Storm,” whose video has been viewed more than 17,200,000 times since its YouTube release on April 24, 2026. For this striking track, Gener8ion teamed up with Swedish rapper Yung Lean. Since then,Gener8ion released on June 12 their album “Love & Tears,” featuring collaborations with 070 Shake, Adèle Castillon, and Yannis Philippakis of Foals.

This autumn, GENER8ION thus takes over the Rotonde d’Antin at the Grand Palais for four days to offer a new experience "at the crossroads of art, music, and cinema". For now, no further details have come out. But Live Nation France, Art Basel, Romain Gavras and Surkin have shared a short video about this audiovisual installation slated for this autumn at the Grand Palais. To see it with your own eyes, join us from October 22 to 25, 2026. And stay tuned for more updates.
