At the heart of Palais de Tokyo, in a space unexplored by artists until now, Michael Riedel, invited by The Absolut Company, will take over a strange platform, an architectural oddity overlooking the Galerie Basse and offering an unconventional point of view of the building’s exhibition spaces.

Reinvented by the artist, the “Point Perché" viewed as a space for exchanges and discoveries, becomes an integral part of Palais de Tokyo.

Taking inspiration from a folded paper band (the pop up system), Riedel develops an architecture consisting of floors and partition walls that are built in this room and are inscribed with the “O” text. “O” is based on a 6h 17min. 32sec. sound recording that reports on the disassembling of the “Giacometti. Playing Fields” exhibition in the Hamburger Kunsthalle (2013).

Originally used there to present the works of Giacometti, the pedestals and the display cases are turned in this case into artistic objects that present art thematically, exactly as Riedel’s whole artistic practice (Popped Pop) consists of continuous reproductions that reintroduce the art of the system into the system of art.
