Zut!

Vernissage Tuesday, October 18, 6pm to 9pm

Admission is free with RSVP: rsvp@zutparis.com

Zut! is a collaborative exhibition which celebrates the intersection of art and design. Occupying an 18th century mansion in the 7th arrondissement, this immersive exhibition is the brainchild of 7 international galleries: A1043 (Paris), Deli Gallery (New York), Friedman/Johnson (Miami), Galerie Mitterrand (Paris), Salon 94 Design (New York), The Breeder (Athens), and Volume Gallery (Chicago).

Built in 1728 as the Hôtel de Guise, this once opulent hôtel particulier has been known under many names including Hôtel du président Chauvelin, Hôtel de Rougé, Hôtel de Mme de Lurcy and finally, L’Hôtel Chauvelin de Crisenoy. While its former grandeur eventually fell into romantic decay, it has more recently become inspiration for artists and curators alike who have breathed new life into its derelict shell. Zut! embraces the building’s storied past, and responds with different visions of how contemporary art and design can synergistically co-exist. Installed in this modern ruin, each installation triggers the imagination with a sense of possibility, impermanence, and play.
