Outset UK is delighted to have supported the exhibition Phillips Auction x VO Curations Parfum d’Épines in Paris, presenting a novel reading of Charles Baudelaire’s collection of poems Les Fleurs du Mal.
Through the spectrum of contemporary art, the reading explored the seminal concept of the double postulation that has protruded beyond the literary universe of the French poet. The exhibition featured the works of 9 contemporary artists that play upon the duality of the Baudelairian ethos and its fascination for antithetical pairings, the atemporal resonance of what the poet refers to as the “two inseparable abysses of the human soul.”
ON VIEW: 23rd May — 26th July 2019
