Il Pièce Unique di De Carlo

 


La galleria Massimo De Carlo apre a Parigi un nuovo spazio sullo storico modello del Pièce Unique ideato negli anni ottanta da Lucio Amelio.

Questo nuovo luogo espositivo è attivo in Rue de Turenne al numero 57, nel cuore del Marais.

Its sixth space to date (two in Milan, one in London, one in Hong Kong, and one virtual – named VSpace) will be housed in a historical building in 57, Rue de Turenne and is currently being renovated by acclaimed Japanese architect Kengo Kuma.⁣
Massimo De Carlo has acquired the gallery and brand Pièce Unique, a unique adventure by iconic gallerist Lucio Amelio who opened in 1989 an unusual space with the distinctive program of showing only one work at a time, visible day and night through its glass window (at the time designed by Cy Twombly) and organized sensational exhibitions under this premise.⁣
The legacy of this historical project will be respected and recast by Massimo De Carlo who will present with Massimo De Carlo Pièce Unique a flexible, dynamic, and unpredictable program of single-work, unique exhibitions, and renew the original idea, with the aim of infusing a new perspective and adding an alternative exhibition model into the art system. Massimo De Carlo Pièce Unique will also experiment a new balance between physical projects and digital initiatives.⁣
