EVENT DESCRIPTION

VILLEPIN is pleased to announce the opening of the summer group exhibition on Thursday, 20th of June 2024. “liquid memory” features works by artists Koji Yamaguchi, Yuri Yuan, Ted Gahl, and Travis MacDonald. Each artist explores the transient nature of reality through distinct visual languages that navigate the ambiguity of everyday scenes, capture the fluidity and ephemeral memory of existence, and offer a glimpse into the interplay between conscious and unconscious realms.

Drawing inspiration from artistic legacies such as genre painting and Morotai painting, these artists elevated mundane occurrences and visions to clever compositions that explore the human condition through art. Marked by memories that not only serve as a record of personal experience but also influence the way the artists understand and perceive the world.

Curated into interconnected sections, “liquid memory” provides a multifaceted portal for contemplating domestic life and unseen truths. By examining the layers shaping our perception, the exhibition invites thoughtful consideration of the underlying uncertainties of reality. Through a dialogue of each artist’s works, the exhibition encourages viewers to unveil a realm where the ordinary is veiled in mystery and the familiar is rendered extraordinary.

Our space draws inspiration from the visionary designs of renowned Catalonian architect Ricardo Bofill. Through his transformative structure, the exhibition transports visitors into realms of alternate realities and hidden dimensions. A melancholic yet beautiful yearning permeates the space, as the shapes and geometries evoke the architect’s journey to distant landscapes.
