Programme
Abtract Conctructions, Nassos Daphnis - Rita McBride
Brought together for the first time for this exhibition, the works of Nassos Daphnis and Rita McBride — two American artists seemingly distant in time and practice — resonate together within a shared space, at the boundary between functionality and poetry, between authority and freedom.
The exhibition creates a dialogue between Nassos Daphnis’s paintings, with their large, stretched planes of color spanning several periods from the 1950s to the 1990s, and the sculptures, installations, and architectural models produced by Rita McBride over the past thirty years.
Jean Prouvé – Inventor of Houses
Dedicated to Jean Prouvé (1901–1984), the exhibition highlights his ambition to industrialize construction through archival material, prefabricated elements, and iconic furniture, revealing an architecture in which form derives from structure.
Each work manifests Prouvé’s constructive exactitude and structural lyricism. Set within the 1950s modernist enclave of Fondation CAB, the exhibition reveals the consubstantial bond between architecture and furniture — where technique becomes form, and form attains permanence.
More than seventy years on, Jean Prouvé’s œuvre continues to recalibrate modernity.
