VISITE ÉCLAIR

Mergers and Acquisitions brings together artists Louisa Gagliardi and Adam Cruces for a duo exhibition in the former hay barn of Ferme-Asile.Adam Cruces' works transform rural forms into artificial, animated or oversized devices, playing with notions of use, domestication and displacement. By contrast, Louisa Gagliardi's paintings depict agricultural and industrial structures whose scale and visual treatment oscillate between recognition and strangeness. Borrowed from economic vocabulary, the title of the exhibition evokes the shifting relationship between man and nature, and offers a sensitive re-reading of the tensions at the heart of our contemporary environments, in a subtle resonance with the very history and context of the Ferme-Asile.
