Press Release
Esther Schipper is pleased to announce Particules Préemptives, Gabriel Kuri’s fourth solo exhibition with the gallery and his first in Paris. On view will be all new works.
Gabriel Kuri’s œuvre encompasses diverse media including sculpture, collage and installation, often using repurposed natural, industrial, and mass-produced objects (insulation foam, shells, soda cans, stones, or ticket receipts, for instance) to craft eloquent works of art. Traces of past human activities—among them empty bottles or cans, cigarette butts or ticket stubs—function as signs of spent time, energy or currency, a recurring theme in the artist’s work. In characteristic fashion, Kuri has developed the exhibition in response to the gallery space. Not exactly a private space but not strictly public either, Kuri’s exhibition plays with the rhythm of intimately scaled rooms, responds to their proportions and with his choice of materials echoes the vestiges of old-world elegance of gilded mirrors and marble fireplaces.
Please note our Paris gallery will be closed for winter break December 23, 2023 – January 8, 2024 inclusive.
