ARTIST NUMEN / FOR USE

Numen/For Use is an art collective led by product designers Sven Jonke, Christoph Katzler and Nikola Radeljković. Their artwork "Lines of Flight" refers to the act of fleeing, eluding and disappearing into the distance. Created for the dreamers of the new and unknown, it speaks of an urge not for conflict but for difference and the nomadic quest for freedom in all its forms.

"Our idea of a waking dream was always one of a habitable utopia, of an alternative space and a speculative way of life", says Numen/For Use. "Such dreams are a spatial wild frontier not yet colonised by reason, prototyping the future we want to live in."


SHOW IMRE & MARNE VAN OPSTAL

“We always come from a specific theme that we want to work around. Or an idea that reflects back on life and on ourselves, but also maybe on society.”, Imre van Opstal In the opening ceremony.

Dutch sibling duo Imre and Marne van Opstal choreograph a spectacular dance performance throughout Palazzo Clerici to celebrate pattern, repetition, and rhythm.


COLLABORATION VITRA FOR PORSCHE

The Pepita pattern was a special request item on the very first Porsche sports car, the 356 – but it’s the 911 that would make it famous a few years later. To this day, it remains a firm favorite of owners and fans.

Now, Porsche is sharing Pepita with those who share our passion and vision. Bringing a new dimension to a classic: Porsche Pepita Edition by Vitra – a limited collection of iconic designs, craftmanship and innovation.

ARTIST
LOCATION
Musée de la mode / Paris

DATE

With “Remember your dreams” French artist Cyril Lancelin has created an artwork that invites the viewer to pause for a moment and get lost in its optimistic color and surprising structure. Take some time to breathe. Transcend the moment. Remember your dreams.

Lancelin’s piece is the first commissioned work for “The Art of Dreams”, Porsche’s new global series of immersive art and design experiences. It was first shown in the heart of Paris at Palais Galliera Musée de la mode de la Ville de Paris, 15–24 October 2021. The piece forms a surreal environment, inviting viewers to step out of their everyday reality and become aware of their own dreams again. If you know your dreams you can make them reality.



ARTIST Cyril Lancelin

develops a hybrid work made up of sculptures, immersive installations, drawings, virtual experiences and videos that forge links between the physical and the fictional. It is from a plastic vocabulary based on primitive geometry that he links architecture and the human body, the everyday and the functional, the perennial and the ephemeral, science and nature.

His practice is shaped by immersion and movement, by the porosity of limits, by innovation, by a search for a world that is half data, half real. The notions of repetition and parametric generation are recurring themes in his work. It anticipates our passage into a world of multiplied and shared data. The artist sets up a connected territory through a conceptual dialogue between his practices and the experience of the public. Digital or real, his works offer an essentially optimistic vision, drawing an artificial and experiential landscape.

He lives and works in Lyon.
