Marc Camille Chaimovicz
Chaimowicz’s works (including drawings, decorative and functional objects, wallpapers, maquettes, sculptures, paintings, and a revisited installation) with notably numerous architectural models, bookplates, is diplayed along side artworks by other international artists whom Chaimowicz’s feels empathy with. Conceived in the spirit of a playful inquiry and ‘flânerie’ – characteristic of the perception of Chaimowicz’s indiosyncratic dandyism, this ‘collective retrospective’ highlights the idea that an artistic production can be inhabit on the same level as its mental ‘backdrop’.
The show includes work of Richard Artschwager, Nairy Baghramian, Joseph Beuys, Tom Burr, James Lee Byars, Enrico David, Emile Guy, Michael Krebber, Jason Meadows, Clémence Meunier, Jozef Peeters, Loïc Raguénès, Gerrit Thomas, Rietveld, Schiaparelli, Lily van der Stokker, Amikam Toren, Rem Koolhaas.
