Entourage II
α + ο -
Le Romandie, Lausanne, 8 February 2014
(8 Objects – 9 Interventions)
Collaborative artistic and curatorial project by Arthur Fouray and Nastassia Cougoulat Montel, at the invitation of Julien Gremaud, Think Tank.
10 installation views by Julien Gremaud.
Around the Lucerne magazine on electronic cultures zweikommasieben, Entourage was organised by Think Tank, which invited Call Super, a British DJ, exclusively for the occasion. Into it were inserted the artistic interventions of a young Parisian duo of artists: α + ο -, for Arthur Fouray and Nastassia Cougoulat Montel.
The interventions fade into the experience of the nightclub, with ‘Nice People Stamp’ welcoming the onlooker inside the nightclub, a ‘Baby Blue Cocktail’ available at the bar, ‘α + ο - tarps’ and ‘Glossy Posters’ covering the walls, ‘Rings of Light’ behind the DJ booth, ‘Ice Lighting Gels’ spreading a blue atmosphere, outshone by ‘Love Disco-Ball’, and finally a vitrine on the balcony of Romandie, a carte blanche to artist L**** K****, illuminated by ‘Black Light Lamps’. After a first edition in 2012 in the form of Bring Your Own Beamer, Think Tank tried total aesthetic immersion in the spirit of α + ο -, answering in its own way the minimalist graphics of zweikommasieben.
