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 Fables of the Fountain” resembles nothing other than “The Fables of the Fountain.” We had found this title for an exhibition that was to take place in London and that we finally did in Brussels. It is a mutant exhibition; a creature that fits each context. For this second version, as with each new upcoming fable, a collective member selects the recent work of the other three [as well as his own]. TFOTF is a collective self-portrait, a pictorial character, a painting of paintings. It is a way for to us to imagine facing the crossroads of narrow streets. If you have the chance to see TFOTF when you wake up, you can see how gracefully it slips into the stolen clothes stretched across the clothesline to the windows.
