MARK BROOM – FAST FÜNFZIG EP
2021-05-31Broom takes the reigns solo, drawing on decades worth of experience for a 12” of mind-altering cuts for one of electronic music’s most vital labels. Lead track ‘Fingers’ sees the British DJ/producer toying with rubbery basslines, glistening pads, and chunky percussion to deliver an irresistibly buoyant house track. ‘Slow’ follows suit, bringing another dose of deep low end next to eerie leads and shining synthesis.
TweetLNS & DJ SOTOFETT – SPUTTERS
2021-05-31DJ Sotofett and LNS have teamed up with Tresor Records for Sputters. The double-vinyl album with 15 cuts spans a hybrid of warped electro and psychedelic hypnosis, all the while remaining fixed in an. unmistakable dance release. Recorded between 2017 – 2020, and bookmarked throughout by intros and interludes dug out from archival material, it’s a deconstructed yet classic compound of techno-sonics.
TweetWALTON FORD – AQUARELLE
2021-05-31Ford is known for his monumental and extremely detailed watercolours depicting wild animals. His works expand upon the visual language and narrative scope of traditional natural history painting. Infuenced by historical sources such as the illustrations of John James Audubon (1785-1851), who gained popularity with his life-sized drawings of birds, the artist creates works of a unique luminosity in watercolour, gouache, and ink.
Drawing from a variety of sources, including scientifc illustrations, historical events, underground comics, literature, flms, and myths, he creates unique, surreal stories with a spark of black humour.

JOHN DILG – FLIGHT PATH
2021-05-31John Dilg’s paintings feel like landscapes rather than being such.
Dilg paints metaphors and abstractions using what he calls a mental archive of essential visual forms, drawing on memory and tonalities of color and the sensations they can convey to create an enthralling, symphonic whole that emphasizes stillness and the continuum of time.
The subjects of these works are not the objects that occupy the paintings but the representation of a moment in time in itself.
Used as visual analogs, the shapes and hues in the paintings become the framework to depict the world at large and create the narratives inside the paintings.

AI WEIWEI – MARBRE, PORCELAINE, LEGO
2021-05-31Marie Denis has always worked on metamorphoses. Those that the time and her taste for paradox impart to materials, those that the artist brings to plants, since nature is at the center of her work. She explores different techniques to fix the images of an ephemeral world on more or less conventional supports.
For this exhibition, the artist invites us to dive into her plant universe using the technique of printmaking in an “unorthodox” way. She also presents a series of “masks” resulting from the sensations experienced during the confinement.
