'Ro-sé—A Book as a Bridge,' Nathalie du Pasquier
Ro-se is an artist-book-slash-exhibition-catalogue (Sternberg Press) from Nathalie Du Pasquier’s solo show at MACRO, Museum of Contemporary Art of Rome, a show of over one-hundred paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, and cabins, from the early 1980s to present day.
Both the exhibition and book play with the idea of ‘exhibition as a medium,’ welcoming the countless associations and combinations you get from a stroll through something as multi-faceted as this:
Walls painted as immense canvases, ceramics and paintings toying with the relationship between object and environment—du Pasquier considers everything she has done as raw material for future projects, giving the exhibition an extraordinary tension. The book, in the same breath, pushes the idea one step further.
at La Muralla Roja
I believe it would be best perused at this beachside fortress by Ricardo Bofill on the eastern coast of Spain.
Maybe it’s the geometric shapes, maybe it’s the labyrinthine intersections, maybe it’s just the fact that I wanna be next to that pool, but flipping through Ro-sé with an ocean breeze sounds like my kind of maximalist balance of inspiration and relaxation. Ps: it’s on airbnb.
with a goblet of vin rosé.
“What you are holding in your hands is, in fact, a meta-exhibition on paper… A bridge between words and images, forms, and signs, to consume in a single gulp… like a glass of vin rosé!”
A gulp, a goblet—either way a dose of casual simplicity to help the creativity go down.
And while it’s not quite vin, this wild, Greek, juicy-and-dry rosé should accompany the setting nicely.
