Des champs de fraises pour l’éternité — La Galerie, centre d’art contemporain — Exhibition — Slash Paris

Past: January 22 → April 2, 2022

This exhibition offers respite from the economic, ecological, political and social crises we are experiencing. In this space, withdrawal takes the form of a mental escape, which, once effected, allows us to understand reality from new angles.

The title is clearly a reference to the Beatles’ song, Strawberry Fields Forever, recorded in 1967. Starting from his childhood and the notion of nostalgia — Strawberry Field was a children’s home he played near as a child — John Lennon created an abstract, introspective song about each individual’s vision of the world. Translated into French, the title is somehow even more poetic, immersing us in a totally subjective, hallucinatory universe.

This exhibition is supported by the Fluxus Art Projects.
