Les Cubes : Gaël Epiney

For the last exhibition of the year, Les Cubes along the Voie-du-Chariot are pleased to host and present the work of artist Gäel Epiney. Five identical tents but each of a different color are to be seen as from November 17 in the open-air gallery, setting a clear scene of adventure. Not only does the title of the exhibition “wanderlust” speak for itself, but the object referred to is also quite revealing. Symbol of a journey, of nomadism and of movement, dear subjects to the artist, the tent is being set in a special and absurd framework since it cannot provide a shelter as it should do. Isolated in those gallery windows and being rendered unusable, the tents are becoming some sorts of precious objects.

“A tent in a glass cube, it is a shelter in a shelter. It is giving the opportunity to shelter and then to deny the access of it!” are the words of the artist.

Exhibition opening in the presence of the artist: Thursday November 17 at 6 pm at Cipriano Wine & Ham Bar.
