Artist:

Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster (born 1965 in Strasbourg, France; lives and works in Paris, France and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil).

Description:

An installation in Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona Pavilion, attempting to ‘tropicalise’ this paradigm of early twentieth-century European modernism by inserting an aquarium, a soundtrack, a rug, a neon, a video, white towels and what the artist calls a ‘blue moment’.
