Matthieu Poirier – Suspension exhibition and book
Matthieu Poirier’s exhibition book Suspension was designed by Baldinger•Vu-Huu, using BVH Anto Rounded.
Suspension. A History of Abstract Hanging Sculpture 1918–2018 was an exhibition that presented more than 50 works related to this little-known sculptural genre, produced by 30 artists, including Duchamp, Calder, Neto and Antunes, of 15 different nationalities, across two exhibitions. Exceptional loans from institutions and collections around the world were presented at Olivier Malingue Gallery in London, and in the Palais d’Iéna in Paris, where an unprecedented dialogue was created between the works and the modern classicism of the monumental space, designed and built by architect Auguste Perret during the 1930s.
The bilingual book (English and French) was jointly published by Olivier Malingue and Éditions Skira.
