Cyprien Gaillard
Nightlife
Much of Cyprien Gaillard’s work investigates the eccentricities, buried histories, and inherent cycles of renewal and decay in the urban environment. Through film, video, sculpture, photography, and various interventions in public space, Gaillard presents narratives and forms that reflect upon the often unacknowledged histories of monuments, cities, and landscapes.
Shot entirely at night over the course of two years, Nightlife (2015) connects a series of seemingly unrelated natural and cultural phenomena throughout Cleveland, Los Angeles and Berlin. Organized into distinct chapters, the three-dimensional film brings together an obscure yet significant mix of historical monuments and occurrences to form a hyper psychedelic experience.
Support for MOCA Cleveland’s presentation of Cyprien Gaillard: Nightlife is provided by Étant donnés Contemporary Art, a program of the French American Cultural Exchange (FACE) Foundation. Étant donnés is developed in partnership with the Cultural Services of the French Embassy in the United States, with lead funding from the Florence Gould Foundation, the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation, Chanel USA, the ADAGP, the French Ministry of Culture, and Institut Français. Generous support also provided by Gladstone Gallery, New York and Brussels and Sprüth Magers. Sherwin-Williams is the official paint of moCa Cleveland. All current exhibitions are funded by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and Leadership Circle gifts from anonymous donors, Yuval Brisker, Joanne Cohen and Morris Wheeler, Margaret Cohen and Kevin Rahilly, Becky Dunn, Harriet Goldberg, Agnes Gund, Michelle and Richard Jeschelnig, Donna and Stewart Kohl, Jan Lewis, Toby Devan Lewis, and Scott Mueller. All moCa Cleveland exhibitions are supported in part by the residents of Cuyahoga County through a public grant from Cuyahoga Arts & Culture, the Cleveland Foundation, the George Gund Foundation, and the continuing support of the Museum’s Board of Directors, patrons, and members. |
