Zut!, Paris

October 18-23 2022

Julien Carretero, David Dubois, Rei Kawakubo, Sho Ota, Michael Schoner

Zut! is an opportunity to bring together recently produced projects, including works by Sho Ota, Julien Carretero and Michael Schoner. What these three creators share is their interest in working with specific materials. Sho Ota exclusively produces wooden objects: clever assemblagesrevealtheir construction as much as the materials themselves. With his Chunk vases produced for A1043, Julien Carretero, known for his Drag series and his use of color, applies bright pigments to plaster in a completely unusual way, the breaks and cracks in the plaster becoming part of the form of the vase. Michael Schoner’s Vienna lamps continue his use of a metal better known for its steadiness than for its aesthetic properties.
