La Loge - 86 Rue de l'Ermitage, 86 1050
In Multiverse, La Loge reveals its potential as an animated place where materials can grow, germinate, transform and deteriorate. Each room of the building provides specific spatial, lighting and climatological conditions, accommodating different types of life to coexist. The exhibition comprises key elements from Blazy’s studio practice including film, sculpture and installation, often composed of impermanent, transient materials like plants, molds, nutritional ingredients and everyday objects.
Throughout the course of the exhibition, the works develop independently from each other and beyond the control of the artist. In this untended multiverse, where things can freely overflow, the eccentric movement of matter lurks as a constant possibility.

La Loge
86 Rue de l'Ermitage, 86 1050

La Loge ontleent zijn identiteit zowel aan de specificiteit van het patrimonium waarin het gevestigd is, als aan het engagement en de doelstellingen van de initiatiefnemers. Het programma richt zich op noties van ruimte, leefomgeving, gebruik.
