Gilles&Boissier and the Spaceless Gallery wanted to dedicate time to show and promote French artists who propose works in which materiality and poetry are omnipresent.

For this time, the Spaceless Gallery took over the Boutique Apartment to present the work of Pierre Bonnefille, “maître d’art” and painter, alongside a selection of poetic works by aurèce vettier. This artist/poet explores and merges the very manual practice and the computer aspect by realizing encrypted poems engraved on plaster and whose secret is held by the artificial intelligence of his "botanist writings". In contrast to this exploration of language, Pierre explores matter and materials.

As an extension of the exhibition IN(SIGHT) showcased in Leclaireur Hérold Paris, the works of American photographer, Lara Porzak moved across the Atlantic to Leclaireur's parallel space in Los Angeles....

The Spaceless Gallery is delighted to collaborate with Gilles & Boissierto present the work of Franco-American sculptor Gabriel Sobin and American photographer Lara Porzak. Béatrice Masi, the founder of the gallery, shares with Dorothée Boissier & Patrick Gilles the fascination behind these artists, who combine poetry, materiality, and elegance.

The Spaceless Gallery is pleased to introduce the photographic work of the American artist Lara Porzak & French painter Pierre Bonnefille at LECLAIREUR Hérold; old stables, transformed into a magnificent location designed by Armand and Martine Hadida. Béatrice Masi, curator, and founder of the Spaceless Gallery conceived this collaboration to shed new light on the work of Lara, an artist halfway between ancient and modern, who reveals her subjects with a subtle balance between shadow and light. By choosing this place of character, the Spaceless gallery underlines the importance of a dialogue between the work and the place that welcomes it and highlights the synergy that emerges from the association of two parallel worlds.

Lara Porzak's photographic work is carried out using mid 19th century photographic processes. Exploring the equivocality of form, Lara captures scenes from nature with her eye of a romantic photojournalist. More than an automatic gesture, Lara masters the nuance between taking and making the photograph. Like a craftsman, she designs and produces her photographs by transposing the impression into a materialized expression. Among the 28 works selected for this collaborative exhibition, three of them stand out. Imposing and powerful, these photographs bring the viewer back to the place where Lara captured this moment, while the smallest clichés, scattered around this place to intrigue the viewer and intensify his curiosity, intervene like memories. That way they reflect the charm of the place.

Alongside the works of Lara Porzak are three works by French painter Pierre Bonnefille. Using refined powders to produce his pictorial compositions, it is the light that surrounds them that reveals the material and creates an illusion specific to each of the spaces in which they are exhibited. Both artists find their inspiration in nature. Lara uses photography to extract an impression while Pierre expresses the reflections of light on the water in a more abstract way.

For this collaboration, the Spaceless Gallery wanted to establish a multidimensional dialogue between the photographic work of Lara, the pictorial art of Pierre within the intimate atmosphere of LECLAIREUR. It is an experience in which art, fashion and design blend subtly to offer visitors an immersion, a suspended moment in time.

From September 2020 to January 2021, the Spaceless Gallery presented an exhibition of works by Lara Porzak and Pierre Bonnefille. Entitled Expression d'Impressions, the exhibition revolved around a multi-dimensional dialogue...

The voïd, French Designer and Architect Charlotte Perriand used to say, contains everything, because it represents the ability to move, the potentiality of motion. But, let's imagine an infinite space, without any point of reference. In such a space, movement would be impossible, because there would be nothing to measure the travelled distance. Thus for this proposition to be true, the voïd must at least contain, a milestone/marker.

Situated in its midst, this exhibition “Space (less)” borrows this frame of reference, questioning the existence and acknowledgment of space and how it's understood and perceived in society. What is space and how do we know define or demarcate it? Interpreted differently by our artists, the works of Felicie d’Estienne d’Orves and Pandora Mond take on the mysteries of cosmic space and light. In contrast, the work of Lara Porzak plunges the viewer into a timeless universe where only preserved memories services as a marker of existence. At the same time, the immersive exhibitions of Jayde Cardinalli and Noémie Lacroix provides a sensory perspective, alongside Hugh Findletar, whose works offer a poetic response to the contradictory yet complementary duality of what it means for a cup, a vessel, a demarcated space to be half full.

As the pace of life quickens and society becomes absorbed into an unyielding cycle of result-oriented tasks and purpose, our minds become an overwhelming reprise of knowledge and thoughts. When then - as they say - do we stop to smell the flowers? The search for a form of repose undoubtedly becomes a unanimous quest as we look both outward to the physical world and inward into our consciousness.
