This is a view from the first solo exhibition of PAULINE BEAUDEMONT presented currently at salts in Birsfelden (Basel).

Entitled l’âge d’or, the show is centered around a video called ‘If you put a roof…‘ (2012) which features a dancehall queen performing some repeated movements in The Maison Blanche, the first house of Le Corbusier built for his parents in 1912 in his home town in Switzerland. This piece – as well as the new works especially created for salts – is made up of fragments in which elements of baroque, humor, sensuality and insolence are interwoven. The whole installation witnesses a profound investigation of modernism in popular culture.

Be sure to catch the show in person before it closes on December 8, 2014. You can also watch the video online here.
