ADRIEN MISSIKA, Siesta Club
On Monday, May 4, 2015, at 7:00 pm, Quartz Studio is delighted to present the exhibition Siesta Club, the second solo exhibition in Italy of French artist Adrien Missika (Paris, 1981). For this exhibition, he drew on his recent experience in Mexico City to conceive a new project, the first in a series of similar installations that he will later also show elsewhere. Siesta Club is a paradox in terms. Missika explains, “The siesta is highly individual by definition, whereas the word "club" suggests something done in a group, as a community. I intend Siesta Club as sharing an experience that is usually quite individual, betwixt waking and sleep, reality and imagination, inspiration and productivity.”
