For Art Week, Galerie Perrotin Inaugurates Three New Solo Shows
As a perfect preamble to the upcoming launch of Paris + Art Basel, Galerie Perrotin inaugurated, this past Friday, three new Parisian solo exhibitions.
“Blow Out” by Genesis Belanger (b. 1978, USA), turns the gallery into a surreal theater through three responsive stagings: a shop, a banquet and an operating room. These new pieces explore overarching themes like gender and power. “Premonitions” by Iván Argote (b. 1983, Bogota) is contsructed as a dialogue with the artist’s concurrent exhibition at the Centre Pompidou – as part of the Marcel Duchamp Prize. A new set of paintings and sculptures as well as a film create an organic conversation between the monuments of our cities and their history. The third exhibition entitled “In Broad Light” by Tavares Strachan (b. 1979, Nassau) evokes, by means of monumental sculptures of black Madonnas, the universality of mother/child bonding, thus exposing racial and social issues of our recent history.
The guests were then invited to proceed to the ballroom of Hôtel Grand Veneur. There, they were treated to a glass of Perrier Jouët champagne over an elegant cocktail by Guillaume Sanchez.
Attending, artists of the gallery Danielle Orchard, Elizabeth Glaessner, Bernard Frize, Xavier Veilhan and Laurent Grasso, curator Jérôme Sans, President of the Centre Pompidou Laurent Le Bon, Art Newspaper Philippe Regnier and several art collectors.
