Half Square, Half Crazy at Villa Arson, Nice (2007)
The group exhibition 'Half Square, Half Crazy' at Villa Arson in Nice, running from February 10 to June 10, 2007, brought together around forty eclectic works referencing minimal art. The title is borrowed from a Dan Graham pavilion whose minimalist glass structure plays with ambiguous forms (two straight wings, two concave ones) and its uncertain status—artistic, architectural, or sculptural. Curated by Vincent Pécoil, Lili Reynaud-Dewar, and Élisabeth Wetterwald, the show assembled diverse pieces that engage with minimalism's legacy.
