Collectors Week-end
The gallery participates in the 3rd edition of CHOICES Collectors Weekend which will be held in Paris on May 21 and 22, 2016. During 2 days, CHOICES proposes a journey through nearly 40 Parisian galleries and a collective exhibition which will be held this year at the Palais de Tokyo.
After Nicolas Bourriaud and Alfred Pacquement for the first two editions, Laurent Le Bon and Emilie Bouvard (respectively President and Curator in charge of contemporary art at the Picasso Museum) have agreed to share their views on a selection of works proposed by the galleries. This atypical curating, in an institutional venue as emblematic as the Palais de Tokyo, aims to highlight contemporary creation on the Parisian scene.
We will present a group of works by Franco Bellucci.
Bellucci attended the Blu Cammello workshop in Livorno, where he was brought to light by the artist Riccardo Bargellini. His hybrid sculptures, born from the assemblage of eclectic objects, form a mysterious language where destinies intertwine and echo one another, seen through the lens of transition, fetishism, or the apotropaic.
His works, part of the collections of the Musée National d’Art Moderne (Pompidou) and the Museum für Moderne Kunst in Frankfurt, have been showcased in numerous major exhibitions, notably at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris.
“These works are endowed with a symbolic power that many ‘professional’ artists are incapable of achieving. “(P. Dagen, Le Monde)
