View of the exhibition 'Ghost Stories’ by Nendo, Friedman Benda New York, 27 February-11 April 2009
The panelled skylights cast an open light onto the industrial skeleton of the space, creating openness within the gallery, and evoking the understated elegance of a Parisian ballet studio. Astrid Malingreau has been appointed director of the Friedman Benda Paris, and is set to help deliver on the gallery’s mission of displaying an array of design, art and architecture, and exploring perspectives and voices that have previously been marginalised.The opening of the Paris gallery holds more emotional value for co-founder Marc Benda , who said: ‘It is every artist’s dream to exhibit in Paris, a heaven and inspiration for creatives for centuries.
Partner Jennifer Olshin adds: ’We are looking forward to joining this thriving historic ecosystem and envision a new context, a unique dialogue with the Parisian public and studios we represent. We are excited as a team to contribute to the cross-cultural landscape of this vibrant city we all love.’
