Antoine Renard‘s solo presentation titled Stuff that dreams are made of is on at Paris’ Galerie Valentin, opening May 12 and running to June 25.

There is little other information alongside the exhibition announcement —aside from the fact it will be taking in the Project Room —but we might perhaps expect some thinking around death, (re)cycles, dark entertainment, things that perish and, potentially, gore. That’s especially given the Berlin-based artist’s recent collaborative 1 Lunatic 1 Ice Pick exhibition with Clémence de La Tour du Pin, for example.

Renard works mainly with sculpture, combining explicitly organic and inorganic materials, as well as content in one gesture or work. In fact it is hard to tell whether the deteriorating figure in the image used to accompany the show is real or cast and slightly melted.

See the FB event page for (limited) details.**
