Respected for his incredible skills, integrity and fair-play, French football player Zinedine Zidane lost it when the Italian opponent called Zinedine's sister a "slut".
The insult would have provoked the impulse ...
The heat of a moment ruins Zidane national super hero status and his career.
Turn the other cheek - not always the answer - sometime letting go makes a valid case, too.
​
After Zidane brings together five artists in a monochromatic exhibition.
Ani Mkrtchyan, Cred Roy, Hao-Chun Hsieh, Hsu Ting and Ian Barrington get a chance to meet again.
The group who met at day one of their masters at Chelsea, has since proven some agility to collaborate together in a group dynamic - unapologetic and irreverent - often challenging the very idea of ​​"gallery space" - between original concepts and a teenage refusal to take precedence of the artist's ego and the hierarchical semantics that dominate contemporary art.
​
This time, the exhibition takes up the classic codes of the art exhibition. Against the white walls of the gallery contrasts the black of the works, highlighting every intention by a multitude of grey and shades.
The works on display are accompanied by a live stream of the England/Belgium game bringing the works back to its bitter commodity. Through the white walls then comes tearing within the numbing and hypnotic sounds of a football match, disturbing the aura of elitism through its common place non-art status.
