Large Opens on Île Seguin with Inaugural Show « Moteur imaginaire »

Large, a new exhibition venue on the Île Seguin, launches its programme with « Moteur imaginaire », a show that situates the space within the history of the former Renault factories that once occupied the site. The inaugural exhibition deliberately frames the industrial past of the location before moving to break away from it. Le Monde reports that the opening marks a brisk start for the institution. The Île Seguin, in the western suburbs of Paris, is known for having housed Renault's manufacturing plants. « Moteur imaginaire » takes this industrial inheritance as its point of departure, using it as a context that the exhibition then seeks to transcend. The show is the first presentation at the new venue. Further details of the participating artists and the exhibition dates were not specified in the source material.
