“Flowers in the Shadow” by oteroso #angelotero

Daniel Buren & Philippe Parreno christen kamelmennour’s breathtaking new space in Paris exhibiting together as one. 💗 “The exhibition investigates the way things appear and disappear, which is the definition of a ghost or indeed any form that manifests itself…. Such quasi-objects have an unfinished existence. The world is not only haunted by ghosts, it is constantly transformed by them. There’s no way to escape them. No object exists without its exhibition; it responds to a new story or a new dramatisation, it appears in a new ritual.” — #philippeparreno #danielburen #kamelmennour

Chris Dorland’s new painting “Untitled (despawn)” is currently hanging in the gallery’s viewing room as we prepare d’or his upcoming solo exhibition “New Day,” opening February 12. Dorland’s new paintings are his most complex effort to date to collapse paint and digital technologies into a single indistinguishable skin. Oscillating between decayed abstraction and 4k ultra resolution–Dorland’s new paintings infer the god’s eye view of topographic visualizations and video game POV’s while simultaneously rendering common place, yet intimate, minutiae of daily life such as folder clutter from the artists desktop with hypergraphic detail.
