Gleichapel, a storefront window revealing a mini “white cube” on rue Debelleyme in the upper Marais neighborhood in Paris, is back after a two-year hiatus. The space hosts “The Fables of the Fountain,” the second edition of a collective and itinerant project, after the initial presentation at Super Dakota Gallery in Brussels organized by Hugo Pernet. Now, Olivier Filippi, whose work has already been presented in 2014 at Gleichapel, proposes a new fable.

The participatory performance “Office of Redemption”, initially conceived in partnership with a charitable organisation, has been modified and now designated as “The Office of I don’t know what”, a project that concerns censorship and artistic engagement.

23/01 to 14/02/2016

Gleichapel is honoured to present in Paris for the first time, Hans Breder’s Mindscape, a video installation depicting a vision of the seven chakras (energy centers) of the human body through which life force flows. The video patterns in Mindscape are derived from re-processed footage of movements in dance, slowly morphing and unfolding in response to a sound activating the seven Chakras. Passersby will experience a sensation perhaps unknown to their existence.

Gleichapel is pleased to present the second part of Vincent Tanguy’s exhibition on the occasion of FIAC 2015.

Gleichapel transforms itself for Vincent Tanguy’s first solo show. Presented in two parts: “Today to Yesterday,” followed by “Break,” the artist takes over the unique space located on rue Debelleyme by exploring the geolocation of the place, as well as its architecture.

Gleichapel, the most intimate art platform in Paris, is delighted to present a special event : To pretend, I actually do the thing: I have therefore only pretended to pretend”, a proposition by Japanese aesthete, artist and philosopher Jun Iwasaki. The exhibition’s title is taken from Jacques Derrida’s famous quote.

Amy Jean Porter

04/04 to 31/05/2015

Gleichapel, arguably the smallest art platform in Paris, presents a new project this spring by American artist Amy Jean Porter entitled  “Social Butterflies”. This will be the artist’s first exhibition in Paris since her 2005 installation: “Birds of North Africa Speak English and French Both at Once” exhibited at g-module gallery (2001-2008).

For Amy Jean Porter’s installation “Social Butterflies”, she is creating a conservatory to honor an evolutionary moment of butterfly migrations and text messages — both of which are rapidly changing. Her vibrant gouache drawings of butterflies sporting text messages in their wings take over the white cube.
