Balice Hertling project space
47 rue Ramboneau, Paris
Noguchi Breton at Balice Hertling is happy to present Blush Pane (Vitre Rougir), a satirical multi-purpose space: merging art, architecture and design. With the trending life-style persuasions of nationalism and supremacism as a prevailing narrative reborn from the ashes of their alternative pejorative histories, it is only natural to seek to express your aspirational position with style and class. While it is easy to talk the talk, Noguchi Breton invites you to take it one step further and walk the walk, at least while it remains fashionable, with our new luxury interior/gilded cage/detention center simulacrum. Reminiscent of the refugee camp from the final act of the 2006 sci-fi film, Children of Men, rigid powder coated screens act at as both containing barrier and substrate for luxury products forming the labyrinthine maquette of the exhibition layout. In this shared or privatisable exhibition space feel free to quickly interchange roles between complicit bystander or helpless refugee while flanked with art and design objects reinforcing these new societal, commercial and state norms.
The immersive environment has been carefully designed and fabricated by Jonathan Gonzalez and Office GA, as a contributing partner and artist to Noguchi Breton.
