Press release

On the occasion of Paris+ by Art Basel, POUSH invites, under the dome, artists of all stripes, witnesses of a rave that has lasted since the first breaches of the Berlin Wall nearly 40 years ago, to explore and decipher a certain idea of night and party. This exhibition encourages reflection, abandonment, and rebellion. The exhibition space becomes a theater of freedoms and is imbued with mechanical pulsations to remind us that the night, like art, is a blank canvas where each spirit can leave its mark. This territory of emancipation embraces the sometimes frightening contours of dystopian technology. La Coupole, a vibrant pulse at the heart of creation, ceases to be architecture to become a space for transe, where the pulsations of electronic music mingle with the beats of daring hearts. In a spirit of transgression, liberated bodies seek in the harshness of the place a shelter for their impulses. One against the other, the flesh melts and amalgamates progressively, matter takes shape, leaving only a single nerve mass.

Free of all obstacles, it flows, slips and sneaks over the coldness of the concrete, thus giving birth to an unusual being, which would only exist in the darkness of the depths. The walls thus become the silent witnesses of a communion where the hope of a bright future coexists with the dark reflection of a society subject to technological devices. The night engulfs all the rambling, leaving a stroboscopic memory and a disturbing memory in its wake.
