Exposition en duo avec Matthieu Clainchard One Minute Space, Athènes (Grèce) Commissariat Nadja Geer

When I invited Nicolas Milhé and Matthieu Clainchard to exhibit in OMS they told me that whatever they were going to build into the space would be both reusable and sourced from the street. Luckily Athens is well known for the wide and rich variety of items that people throw out. The radical negation of the system of value that is manifested through the cycle of consumption and rejection is both counterintuitive and surprising. The idea to upcycling came together with the conception of building something into OMS – a gallery inside a gallery which could be used to hold art works but which could also be regarded as a sculptural object in itself. Or a site-specific large-scale sculpture. A type of architectural object. An art bar.
