NOTHING TO SEE DISRUPTS THE TRADITIONAL GALLERY EXPERIENCE WITH POP-UP VENUES, CURATION AROUND A CENTRAL THEME, OR BY FEATURING UPCOMING ARTISTS. WE'RE NOT JUST DISPLAYING ART; WE'RE CREATING A MORE IMMERSIVE, NARRATIVE-RICH EXPLORATION OF PHOTOGRAPHY, PAINTING, ILLUSTRATION, AND DESIGN.

OUR GOAL IS AN HOLISTIC EXPERIENCE, SHAPED BY THE ARTIST'S VISION AND AESTHETICS. THIS EXTENDS BEYOND THE ARTWORKS, TO INCLUDE INNOVATIVE SET DESIGN, COLLECTIBLE MERCHANDISE, AND IMMERSIVE OPENING NIGHTS.

 

NOTHING TO SEE LAUNCHES ITS FIRST EXHIBITION IN PARIS ON SEPTEMBER 18TH, SHOWCASING THE NEO-POP WORK OF MICHAEL MCGREGOR. THE AMERICAN ARTIST, WHO LIVES BETWEEN LOS ANGELES AND ATHENS, GAINED FAME FOR HIS DRAWINGS ON HOTEL NOTEPADS (CHÂTEAU MARMONT, RITZ LONDON, HÔTEL DE CRILLON, THE SUNSET TOWER, ETC.). HE INVITES US ON A JOURNEY THROUGH THE WORLD'S MOST GLAMOROUS OR ICONIC PLACES, USING UNEXPECTED CANVASES: HOTEL STATIONERY.

DESIRE IS CENTRAL TO HIS WORK, FEATURING HIS FAVORITE THEMES : TRAVEL, POP CULTURE AND ICONS. SKETCHED SIMPLY AND GRAPHICALLY IN PENCIL, HIS ILLUSTRATIONS COULD HAVE BEEN LEFT BEHIND BY A GUEST, SMOKING A CIGARETTE AND SIPPING A MARTINI ON THE TERRACE.

INTERVIEW OF THE NEW YORK TIMES

 

YET, MCGREGOR’S WORK IS NOT NOSTALGIC; IT EVOKES SOMETHING LIKE THE FEELING YOU GET WATCHING SOFIA COPPOLA’S SOMEWHERE MOVIE. AN ATTEMPT TO CAPTURE AN ALREADY FADED MOMENT WHEN, IN A NEW CONTEXT OR CIRCUMSTANCES OBJECTS TAKE ON A DIFFERENT FLAVOR.   THE EXHIBITION, "ROOM SERVICE," EMBODIES THE ATMOSPHERE OF A PALACE SUITE AFTER A MEMORABLE PARTY WITH ARTISTS AND HAPPY FEW— ESSENTIALLY, THE ARTIST’S OWN LIFE: VIBRANT, ALLURING, CHAOTIC, AND UNDENIABLY SEXY.
