Prior to its destruction, the house which once housed
the exhibition space, 40mcube, is entirely coated with black paint.
Overexposing this architecture isolated within a heterogeneous urban complex,
the act of covering it up results in placing the exhibition space in the very
heart of the artwork. From the walls to the roofing, all the functional and
decorative architectural elements are unified in this paradoxical revelation.
Metamorphosed into a black monolith, the building acquires imposing and
spectacular aspects during the day before disappearing at night, thus producing
the effect of a black hole that absorbs viewing. Halfway between an exhibition
strategy and the stage set for a film and a multiplicity of artist references,
the intervention affirms itself as a monochromatic sculpture which offers a
multitude of experiences and individual interpretations.
