Presentation Details
Air de Paris and Nicoletti will jointly stage a solo presentation by Gaëlle Choisne. Described by the artist as a “kaleidoscopic prism with multiple entries of meanings and signs,” her work is concerned with the vestiges of colonialism and the continuum of extractivist practices in the globalized present. Choisne’s interests in the occult and vernacular make particular reference to Creole myth and culture, linking a collective history with her own personal French-Haitian genealogy. Her experimental formal approach mirrors the complex dynamics of the subjects she investigates, moving between sculpture, installation, and a video practice that spans documentary and narrative modes.
About the Galleries
Air de Paris established 1990 in Nice by Florence Bonnefous and Edouard Merino, who both attended the Ecole du Magasin in Grenoble. In 1994, Air de Paris relocated to Paris.The name "Air de Paris" is a tribute to Marcel Duchamp and his readymade 50cc of Paris Air. At the beginning there is Les Ateliers du Paradise with Philippe Perrin, Pierre Joseph and Philippe Parreno: the exhibition was conceived like a movie in real time over Summer 1990, transforming the gallery into a photogenic living space. Paul McCarthy, Lily van der Stokker, Jean-Luc Verna among others participate to the reputation of the Nice an formula.
NıCOLETTı is a London-based gallery dedicated to supporting the development of emerging artists. Established in May 2018, NıCOLETTı is located in a converted warehouse on Vyner Street, East London. In December 2019, NıCOLETTı created an online gallery and began commissioning VR exhibitions to artists using digital technologies as mediums in their practice.
