«If it’s a drug, what are its side effects ? Black Mirror lies within this zone, somewhere between joy and perdition.» - Charlie Brooker, creator of the «Black Mirror» series.

This zone, whether physical or ideological, enables artists to deliver their view, their observations, of our society. «Black Mirror» is an exhibition which stages visions either hallucinatory or fantasized, as expressed in the melancholic images of Nagi Gianni or the kitsch and absurdity of Scott N Andrew ; «Black Mirror» is unclutteredness and pessimism in the guise of Patrick Lacroix, but also humour and derision with the installation of Alain K stuck in his apartment. «Black Mirror» is then a zone of violence and excess, with Federico Solmi’s saturated images, or the frenzy and extravagance of Jon Rafman’s flow of images. This vision of society provided by the works on display focuses on everyday life that submerges the spectator in an overload of images, re-examining his relationship with reality and his ability to detach himself from this flow of information. «Black Mirror» is thus a dystopian, almost apocalyptic view of the omnipresence of screens in our living-rooms or pockets, on our desks and every shiny black wall ; they diffuse or reflect our society. Whether on or off. -Yann Lasserre

IfNF presents: Felt Book

January 30 - March 27, 2015

The Institute for New Feeling (IfNf) is an art collective dedicated to the development of new ways of feeling, and ways of feeling new. IfNf creates artwork in the form of treatments, therapies, retreats, research studies and products that play with the corporate manipulation of human desire. 

Through the SPACES R&D program, IfNf will curate an exhibition of works from their upcoming online collaboration, Felt Book. This publication is a collection of home remedies inspired by the structure of Fluxus scores, YouTube tutorials and eHow articles. Felt Book spans 40+ artists and encompasses works that are as minimal as one sentence, in addition to video, interactive, and sculptural formats.

IfNf will also create a private meditation room, allowing participants to select an audio-visual treatment to experience alone. During the opening reception at SPACES, IfNf will host a performative launch party, including a reading of treatments from their online publication, a video screening, and performances by Felt Book artists.

Visitors are invited to sign up for the free eFelt subscription service to receive product samples in the gallery, as well as a weekly remedy by email. Sign up for the email here.
