Alain Bublex's Retrospective at Galerie Vallois Explores Imaginary Cities
Alain Bublex's retrospective at Galerie Georges-Philippe Vallois in Paris will run from June 5 to July 18, 2026, curated by Anaël Pigeat. The exhibition highlights Bublex's belvedere 'Quoddy Mamco, 2023', initially designed for La Défense. It showcases works including 'Aérofiat 2.1-1995', 'American Landscapes', 'Plan Voisin de Paris-V2 Circulaire Secteur A23, 2013', and 'Plug-in City (2000)'. A reception desk designed by Bublex and Ania Martchenko in 2005 is repurposed as a sculpture, alongside an 'Awareness Box' camera that does not capture images.
