Perrotin New York presents Corporealités, a new large-scale sculptural installation by Danish artist Jesper Just, on view from January 14 through February 15, 2020. The new work is composed of a series of LED sculptures programmed with a new multi-channel video work alongside a spatial intervention into the gallery’s first floor. Adrien Giraux, White Screen Studio and Jepser Just have been collaborating mulitple times over the past decade and this solo show at the famous Perrotin Gallery nyc is the demonstration of a powerful partnership. Adrien Giraux Creative direction bring to life Jesper s work in many intersting layers
Jesper Just distorts rituals of movement through video and performance—two media he pairs in perverse combinations to destabilize museum architecture and to create plangent moving images that echo with anticipation and longing. His multichannel video work Servitudes—shot in 2015 at One World Trade Center on the occasion of his solo exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris—brims with a restrained yet intense kineticism as its two mobility-limited protagonists internalize the skyscraper’s haunted architecture. Last autumn and with seven performers from the American Ballet Theater, just made his newest video, Corporealités, at Perrotin’s New York gallery, where the video installation will be on display from January 14, 2020, to February 15, 2020. He discusses the exhibition’s genesis below.
