Galerie Derouillon Étienne Marcel, Paris, presents "As the veneer of democracy starts to fade," a group exhibition curated by Clément Caballero, running from April 23rd to May 30th, 2026. The show features new and historical works by Emmanuel Beguinot, Nikita Gale, Keta Gavasheli, Brett Ginsburg, Gordon Matta-Clark, Erwan Sene, and Leyla Yenirce, marking a Parisian gallery debut for several artists.
The exhibition explores how democracies can erode from within, drawing parallels between cyberpunk fiction and contemporary urban transformations driven by capitalist, military, and security logics. It examines the pervasive influence of sound, surveillance, and architectural changes on sensory perception and psychological states. The works investigate how memory, perception, language, sound, and architecture are altered by these forces, creating an unstable environment where biological, industrial, and political forms intersect, and where living conditions merge with conditions of perception.
