On September 28, 2023, Nicolas Grospierre's new show opens on the occasion of Warsaw Gallery Weekend 2023 at Hala Koszyki in Warsaw and was organized by dela.art collection as a side event.

Deeper than the Abyss is the presentation of various viewing machines and other optical devices from different series created from 2006 to last year, whose common denominator is a visual game: illusory perspectives interwoven in endless loops.

Hala Koszyki
ul. Koszykowa 63, Warsaw

Talk and opening: 28/09/2023 at 19:00

Nicolas Grospierre was born in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1975. He works in the extended field of photography with a pronounced interest in architecture. Grospierre's use of photography ranges from classic documentary photography to photo montages to video and room installations. His work deals with architectural complexes of political and social ideologies using modern public facilities. Grospierre follows the tradition of photographic typologies of conceptual artists such as Ed Ruscha, Dan Graham, Allan Sekula or the Bechers in the 1960s-70s. As a graduate of the Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris (1998) and the London School of Economics (1999), he made his debut as a photographer in 2001. Grospierre was awarded the Golden Lion at the 11th Venice Architecture Biennale in 2008. In 2012 he received the Polityka Passport Award - Poland's most prestigious art prize and in 2014 an individual grant from the Graham Foundation (Chicago, USA). His monograph, Open-End, will be published in 2013 by Jovis Verlag, Berlin; his works can be found in many public and private collections around the world, including the Rubell Family Collection in Miami, FL, and the National Museum, Warsaw, Poland. Nicolas Grospierre has lived and worked in Warsaw, Poland since 1999.
