Rob Pruitt invites Lizzi Bougatsos at Air de Paris. The conversation revolves around friendship, the joy of making simple things, how to navigate contemporary production systems (objects and images), and a kind of cartoonish melancholy of characters taken out of their natural environments.
Solo show of Rob Pruitt x Lizzi Bougatsos
Exhibition from May 24th to July 13th, 2024
The gallery
Air de Paris established 1990 in Nice by Florence Bonnefous and Edouard Merino, who both attended the Ecole du Magasin in Grenoble. In 1994, Air de Paris relocated to Paris.
The name "Air de Paris" is a tribute to Marcel Duchamp and his readymade 50cc of Paris Air. At the beginning, there is Les Ateliers du Paradise with Philippe Perrin, Pierre Joseph and Philippe Parreno: the exhibition was conceived like a movie in real time over Summer 1990, transforming the gallery into a photogenic living space. Paul McCarthy, Lily van der Stokker, Jean-Luc Verna among others participate to the reputation of the Nice an formula.
Air de Paris moved to Romainville in Greater Paris in 2019.
For some 30 years now Air de Paris has cultivated a fondness for the peripheral. The move to Romainville shows us pursuing this notion in a restating of Liam Gillick's maxim""Just More/More Just".
