Montreal gallery Parisian Laundry has announced that it will open a pop-up project in Berlin this fall. The project, based at the Mitte art space Sur La Montaigne, will feature installations by Jeanie Riddle, who is also the gallery’s director.
The project follows on Parisian Laundry’s recent attempts to engage spaces beyond Montreal outside of art-fair contexts. Last summer, it branched out to Toronto for a pop-up space at the Drake Hotel.
Sur La Montaigne has been largely programmed of late by artist and ex-Torontonian Drew Simpson; this year, several other Canadians have shown there, including Ron Loranger, Heather Goodchild, Christy Langer and Wil Murray.
Riddle plans to transform the space using latex paint, adhesive paper and masking tape to create one of her characteristic Spillings works. The show opens October 18.
In other Parisian Laundry news, one of its leading artists, Valérie Blass, will be part of a New York Public Art Fund project in Brooklyn starting on November 11. The project also features Katinka Bock, Esther Kläs and Allyson Vieira.
The four artists will show under the title “Configurations” at the MetroTech Center Commons in downtown Brooklyn, with the project running until September 16, 2013.
