As the inaugural show of ARTPROJX SPACE, ARTPROJX engages with its new
location, offering the ultimate art shopping experience at the Dadadandy
Boutique. Following on from their success at Selfridges in 2007,
which offered unique interactions with customers, Dadadandy Boutique
at Artprojx Space is a new installation, mIxing the language of the retail
environment with the domestic and the theatrical, with the aid of a variety
of scenographic and display devices such as plinths, antique tables and
props. The Boutique will feature work by 20 artists, including Dadadandy’s
ongoing series of artist’s editions in the spirit of Marcel Duchamp’s
Boîte en Valise, George Maciunas’ Fluxus boxes and original
works, publications and products.
Dadadandy is born out of a collaboration between artist-curators Simon
Moretti and Paul Heber-Percy. Dadadandy is an artwork, an artist, and
a curatorial collaboration and was launched at Art|37|Basel, in June
2006. Recent projects include Le Palais Des Etoilles, a series of interventions
commissioned by Selfridges, the Dadadandy Pavilion (in a parked limousine)
outside the Frieze Art Fair, magazine projects for Beaux Arts Magazine
and Space is the Place, the first solo presentation in London of the
editions at Ritter Zamet.
