Take an electrical outlet: it consists of an injection molded plastic cover and three pieces of conductive alloy terminating a cable. It is protecting me physically –for I could die; and conceptually, for I do not want to know about it. It is a dispenser: it exists when I need it. It allows me to assume the energy it carries as tamed; to delegate and forget. I learned to confuse wall and socket.

On the occasion of this salon, Bastien Gachet will present new works made in and for a location: the ABA apartment at the Stresemannstraße 76.

Wednesday 29th of August 2018, 18:00, Stresemannstraße 76, Komarov, 8th floor (apt 825)
