“G I R L” is a contemporary art exhibition, which brings
together approximately 40 artworks – including 10 specially produced works. The
exhibition will be presented in Galerie Perrotin’s new space, the Salle de Bal,
a former ballroom at the Hôtel du Grand Veneur, a 17th century Hôtel
Particulier in the Marais area of Paris. This selection of artists close to the
gallery and the musician form a kind of operatic opus, where muses have come
together to pay tribute to femininity.
When
Emmanuel Perrotin met Pharrell Williams in Miami during 2007 and asked him to
come up with his very first design object, he never imagined that this musical
genius, super-producer and fashion designer would carry the adventure with a
sculpture created with Takashi Murakami. Perrotin and Williams continue their
artistic collaboration seven years later with an exhibition curated especially
for Galerie Perrotin in Paris.
“I have
always mixed artworks into my music, clothing, jewelry and my entire way of
life. They stimulate creativity, mutual curiosity, and simply happiness,”
Pharrell Williams declares. The international pop icon applies this credo of
blending artistic mediums every time he works with his artist friends, like
DAFT PUNK, Daniel Arsham, KAWS or Takashi Murakami. “I’m like a student when I’m
with visual artists; I love to learn from them. Artworks teach you how to live
and think differently.”
