Opening reception on October 13 at 6:30 p.m. (with a concert at 7pm)
Exhibition on view October 13–24
The Pôle Culture (VPI) and Archizoom are collaborating on an installation by the artist duo Andrea Anner & Thibault Brevet (AATB) that extends Archizoom’s exhibition Do Robots Dream of Construction Sites? and is part of the Les Culturelles festival.
NO/NC is a new work by AATB featuring a swarm of inflatable barriers that move autonomously through the space to form temporary structures and barricades, preventing visitors from moving about and crossing the space freely.
Whoever controls and decides where and for whom to build walls also decides how we form a cohesive society—a society cemented by fictitious boundaries—while fragmenting and dissolving those deemed undesirable.
The walls of the installation take on an almost ghostly quality. They are constantly changing, continually shifting. It seems as though today they possess a will of their own, a form of autonomy, their own logic, and their own survival instinct.
