‘Design and Interior Sculptures’ at Inception Gallery, Paris
Inception Gallery in Paris is hosting a group exhibition titled “Design and Interior Sculptures” that remains on view through July 31, 2017.The works presented in this exhibition explore a simple idea through their build, “What happens when a work of art also presents a functional purpose?” What happens when a sculpture serves as a piece of furniture, when a picture is painted, not on canvas, but on a curtain or carpet? This exhibition puts into perspective the way in which many artists eschew categories and question the porous boundary that is meant to separate fine art from the decorative arts. These works often considered as belonging in the margins of artistic practice reveal other stakes, however. The most obvious of these consists in attributing to the object a function that goes beyond beauty or content. For their part, the designers here stress the possible permeability between furniture and sculpture by creating pieces whose functionality vanishes behind form, and/or by increasingly producing limited series, and sometimes even unique pieces.The exhibition is at Inception Gallery, 67 rue Saint Jacques, 75005 Paris.
