Big Hair and Big Thoughts at a Paris Museum
  + stars: | 2023-07-28 | by ( Rosa Lyster | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
The exhibition, called “Des cheveux et des poils” in French, which means something like “Hair and Fur,” runs through Sept. 17 and takes up both floors of the museum’s main gallery space. Hair, hair, hair. How long can thoughts of hair occupy the attention, really? An exhibition about hair is also an exhibition about self-presentation and self-perception, difference and hierarchy, race, religion, control, disgust, childhood, adulthood, masculinity and femininity. There is a description from a contemporary witness, who recounts that some of the balls required that attendees “cut their hair short around the neck, just as the executioner cuts the hair of victims.” A haircut is an announcement, as Madame Fouler knew.
