Press Release
With MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS, Louisa Gagliardi and Adam Cruces take over the 800 m² of La Grange de la Ferme-Asile for a joint exhibition consisting exclusively of new works. Borrowed from the vocabulary of finance, the title introduces an immediate tension. This is not about business management, but a metaphorical shift: thinking about the relationship between landscape and humanity as a field of alliances, absorptions, resistances and ongoing negotiations.
In the old hay barn, whose architecture bears the mark of its agricultural past, the works replay and shift this memory. Straw bales, tools, machines and large mechanised equipment: a range of elements from the rural world that are, here, enlarged, constrained or transfigured. The whole is bathed in a cold, resolutely artificial light, which gives the installation a clinical appearance. The space is not simply a container; it acts as a catalyst, reduced to its original function in order to be better subverted.
