Perrotin Tokyo’s Newest Installment
Perrotin Tokyo is pleased to present Parlour, an exhibition by Jens Fänge that invites us into a world of echoes and fragments — a domain that feels less like a room than a shadow of a room. The term “parlour” itself reaches back to the Middle Ages, when in monasteries silence was absolute, save for the parlour, the sole room where conversation could resume.
Here, Fänge’s parlour becomes a private, domestic theater where people, animals and ordinary objects appear like half-remembered scenes, familiar yet spliced and rearranged, as if he has reanimated an interior world from elsewhere, conjuring it through a kind of painterly alchemy.
There will be an opening reception for Parlour on November 20, 5 to 7 p.m.
