DESCRIPTION:Delphine Reist\, artiste\nExhibition : from 9 October 2024 to 
 June 2025\n\nEach year since 2011\, CDH-Culture has invited an artist to p
 resent a work that relates to the Rolex Learning Center. This year\, Delph
 ine Reist will present an installation comprising fifty or so overturned b
 uilders’ buckets filled with fresh concrete. The concrete spills onto th
 e floor in accordance with its specific viscosity. Overturned\, these buck
 ets lose their original purpose to become useless yet pleasant objects\, e
 choing the materiality of the building.\n\nThe starting point of La Rampe 
 is the amazing spatial experience offered by the Rolex Learning Center. It
 s interior projects us into an undulating landscape. The physical sensatio
 ns are the same as those we experience when walking in nature. Yet here th
 e landscape is nothing but concrete\, glass\, and carpeted valleys. We are
  filled with a hybrid hypnotic sensation\, somewhere between walking acros
 s fields and strolling through an open-space office: a ‘landscaped offic
 e’\, in the literal sense of the term. The Ramp is in no way an apology 
 of the challenges of engineering technology\, but rather an offbeat serial
  action: the overturning of rubber concrete-mixing buckets on the undulati
 ng floor of the building.\n\nIn May 2025\, Delphine Reist will create a pe
 rformance at the Rolex Learning Center using vacuum cleaners.\n\nAccess fr
