VERNISSAGE : THURSDAY 11 NOVEMBER 2021  18:00

 

In Arc-et-Senans lies the gates to the underworld, a semicircular fragment of a parallel reality, an alchemical symbol, a tinderbox of revolution, a pastoral factory, a time crystal, or a prescient example of an artist defining an aesthetics of work.
Dennis Goodwin

Rut Blees Luxemburg’s new photographic work The dark intestine of Nicolas Ledoux is a sideways approach towards the French revolutionary architect’s oeuvre.
Revolving around the Saline Royale, his hybrid factory - part panopticon, part anticipated ruin - Blees Luxemburg exhibits nocturnal chimera of the imperfect Utopia.
