The Spaceless Gallery
The Spaceless Gallery is founded on the egalitarian principle that art should be available wherever people are, without restriction. Operating through a circuit of innovative pop-up locations and rejecting the rigidity of the traditional white cube, the gallery instead opts for the freedom of the network: decentralized and therefore liberated.
Throughout her career, founder Beatrice Masi has established herself as a boundary breaker — a curator, advisor, and gallerists all in one. It is with this same spirit of innovation that The Spaceless Gallery brings together its eclectic network of collectors, collaborators, and artists from across financial and creative spectrums. With a focus on experiential exhibitions that pay homage to their surroundings as well as the guiding principles of aesthetic value and consumer relevancy, the gallery is a project that captures what the art market is today: unbound by any one location, audience, genre or medium.
Félicie d’Estienne d’Orves belongs to a generation of transmedia artists that works with different technologies and sciences. Technology is a tool to view teleperceptions and man is augmented by these tools (body and mind). "There is no reason why one shouldn’t look at art through a telescope » as Robert Smithson (american land artist) said in the 70. We must adapt our systems of representations in art and invent new process of creation with art-science collaboration and become aware of this new territories through tangible, visual and artistic experiences.
The art research constructs models of representation to supplement the observation of more remote ranges, broaden our discernable environment to give meaning to what is closer to us. Put an end to boundaries. Rediscovering the known. Perception functions on the basis of repetition, habit, destabilizing our body, questioning our prejudices, certainties.
Like observing a sunset. To watch the sun setting is to experience a sense of horizon – understand what that skyline really is: a frontier more than a limit. The horizon is endless. The closer you want to get, the further it will move back. To describe it Greek philosopher and astronomer Anaximander (c. 600 BC) forged the concept apeiron, ‘boundless’, ‘infinite’, ‘that which has no limit’. Apeiron is the perpetual origin of things, not so much physical boundlessness as mental infinity.
Resuming this idea of boundaries, eliminating boundaries is arguably where artistic and scientific approaches meet.
Jeremy Maxwell Wintrebert (born in 1980 in Paris, where he lives and works) is a French-American craftsman who has spent over twenty years perfecting freehand glass-blowing techniques that he learned during a cosmopolitan apprenticeship between the United States and Europe from 1998 to 2007.
That year, he settled in Paris, where he divided his time between work in studios and participation in residencies, workshops and conferences. In 2015, within a historic fine artisans’ district in Paris, he opened the studio where he produces all of his creations.
Mixing passion, creativity, know-how and collaboration within a team in which transmission plays a decisive role, Jeremy Maxwell Wintrebert’s creations are all freehand-blown, without a mold. Elegant, sensual, often colorful and always luminous, they combine tradition, modernity and anticipation, and remain inhabited by the movement that formed them. In all their radiance, these unique works reflect multiple facets of glass and brass and their creative potential, drawing from creative freedom, the time to experiment, and a forward-looking inventiveness developed in a spirit of independence and boldness.
Jeremy puts forward : “When I blow it is an expansion, it is the moment just before the explosion. There is tension. It's a fierce concentration of energy."
