"Oh, unforeseen utility of the superfluous! Charity of great things! Goodness of giants!"

Marc Dilet: TRANS-POSITIONS
November 1 - December 1, 2017
Vernissage November 1

Paris-based architect Marc Dilet's ink drawings focus on world cities and aim to capture the specific atmosphere of places, simultaneously creating a sense of continuity and revealing differentiations in universal urbanity. Views of Athens, Chicago, London, Montreal, Oslo, Paris, Tokyo, and more are gathered and investigated through natural and man-made landmarks, producing unique characters that create fascination and anger, joy and wonder, chaos and order.
