Olivier Mosset & Jacob Kassay en

Struck by the radical, highly efficient flexibility of ballet rehearsal studios, with their mirrors and dance barres, Olivier Mosset (CH, 1944, based in Tucson) decided to create a new installation reproducing this setup. Through discussions with Jacob Kassay (US, 1983, based in Los Angeles), who has his own interest in mirrors, the pair ended up co-authoring the work.

The installation will be produced materially in dimensions adapted to the space at Le Commun (280 x 1500cm) and will modify how the space is perceived from the first floor.

Olivier Mosset is primarily known as an abstract painter, often working in monochrome. He also creates collaborations with other artists, which were the subject of his exhibition Olivier Mosset collaborations at the Centre culturel suisse in Paris (2014). In 2019, he had a solo exhibition at the Haus Konstruktiv in Zurich, and in 2020, a retrospective was presented at MAMCO. Mosset created a stage curtain and set design for Sous Apparence, choreographed by Marie-Agnès Gillot at l’Opéra Garnier in Paris in 2012.
