Palais des Beaux Arts

The Palais des Beaux Arts is a historic site for future-thinking art. Artists and curators develop site-specific projects for a wireless network in public space. Digital works are available to everyone with a smartphone or tablet passing by the building. The conceptual space between the history of the building and the prevailing artistic tendencies on the internet creates a site for the reflection on art and its institutions in the post-digital age. The vernissage is on the trottoir.

The Palais des Beaux Arts is a historic site for future-thinking art. Artists and curators develop site-specific projects for a wireless network in public space. Digital works of artists and curators primarily working on the internet are available to everyone with a smartphone or tablet passing by the building. The conceptual space between the history of the building and the prevailing artistic tendencies on the internet creates a site for the constructive reflection on institutions for the (re-)production and (re-)presentation of art in the post-digital age. The vernissage is on the trottoir.

The Palais des Beaux Arts was designed by Anton and Josef Drexler and built in 1908 as headquarter for the internationally operating fashion publishing company "Chic Parisien" founded by Arnold Bachwitz.
