Lined with antique mirrors and sea green panelling, another salon showcased paintings and photographs by Aurèce Vettier with Squid Theory, a collection of cuttlefish bone sculptures cast in bronze by Franco-Japanese artist Natsuko Uchino as a delicate centerpiece. On the top floor, the work Resident 1 by New Zealand artist Simon Denny took pride of place, consisting of a quilted rugby jersey assembled from vintage Gucci scarves inspired by styles worn by Queen Elizabeth II. Opposite, the 12 calendar pages inside FUTURA PROXIMA were displayed in unison, revealing the curatorial experience brought to life through the passage of time within the walls of Galerie Gismondi.
