"On the occasion of Paris+ by Art Basel, POUSH invites, under La Coupole, artists from all walks of life, witnesses of a rave that has lasted since the first cracks in the Berlin Wall nearly 40 years ago, to explore and decipher a certain idea of night and celebration.
This exhibition encourages reflection, abandon, and rebellion. The exhibition space becomes a theater of freedoms and absorbs mechanical pulses to remind us that the night, like art, is a blank canvas where every spirit can leave its mark.
This territory of emancipation embraces the sometimes daunting contours of a dystopian technology. La Coupole, a vibrant pulse at the heart of creation, ceases to be architecture and becomes a trance space, where the pulsations of electronic music merge with the beats of daring hearts.
In a surge of transgression, liberated bodies seek shelter for their impulses in the harshness of the place. Against each other, flesh melts and gradually amalgamates, matter takes shape, leaving only a single nervous mass.
Freed from all constraints, it flows, slips, and creeps on the coldness of concrete, giving birth to an unusual being that exists only in the darkness of the depths. The walls thus become silent witnesses of a communion where the hope for a radiant future coexists with the dark reflection of a society subject to technological artifices. The night swallows all meanderings, leaving in its wake a stroboscopic memory and a haunting memory."
