Standing light by Arnout Meijer

Galerie Joseph’s exhibition ‘Body Language’ opened this week for DDays Paris – and its superb. It is the work of a collective of individual designers called Dutch Invertuals who all share one common focus: ‘experiment is principal’.  They state: ‘The mission of Dutch Invertuals is to show and challenge the value of knowledge and beauty’.  Exploring new aesthetics combined with usability in an increasingly technological and virtual world, the idea is to open doors to reinterpret everyday objects we may take for granted. Technology and digital progress take centre stage. The work with lighting is especially dynamic, notably the work of Arnout Meijer.  Curated by Wendy Plomp, it is well worth a visit. Open 1 -7 June, Galerie Joseph, 116 rue de Turenne, 75003.
