La Plage

Jacopo Miliani is presenting solo exhibition Burning Desire at Paris’ La Plage, opening July 22 and running August 20.

The press release is a poetic musing around notions of suspension, risk, fear and processes of actualisation or physicalisation:

Dot Dot Dot became boing boing boing, 

A group of suspended objects.

The Milan-based artist has worked previously with text and image within the context and act of publication, and specifically with the book series, ‘Self Pleasure Publishing’ which he set up in 2014 and took to London’s White Cubicle Toilet Gallery to launch exhibition and text, Your boss has given you this factory. What do you think? earlier this year. Miliani also presented solo show, Studio for a Choreographed Display for ICA’s Fig-2 series in 2015.

See the La Plage website for more details.**

The Grand Orpheus Highway group exhibition is on at Paris’s La Plage, opening December 4 and running to January 11, 2016.

Following its inaugural show with Berlin-based artist Ilja Karilampi’s Truss Mi Daddy, the new space will feature work by London-based artists Iain Ball and Yuri Pattison, along with LA’s Parker Ito.

There is little information on the theme of the exhibition save for a short bit of poetry referencing Greek mythology’s tragic god-couple Orpheus and Eurydice, physical highways and information networks as a space of transition and a potential analogy for lost hope:

“It is night. Orpheus glances back and crosses Eurydice’s gaze
Intersecting between Grand and Orpheus, the highway
a place of transition
where some things change
others remain the same
at this speed, systems of information and structures of power are unveiled
Who is looking?
I don’t know
I don’t care

Looking back
The highway’s in ruins”

See the La Plage website for (limited) details.**
