monCHÉRI 2014- 2017

In eighteenth century Venice the first coffee houses were born, forerunners of our bars, they were, of course, also chocolate shops which raced to modify the existing recipes and invent new versions. In 1760 the Gazzetta Veneta documented the now enormous diffusion of the product. Until the eighteenth century, chocolate was considered a remedy for all ills, and it was attributed with miraculous properties. The cultivation of cocoa in Brazil, Venezuela,

Martinique and the Philippines increased disproportionately, while many European cities gained esteem and fame for working with chocolate, such as Turin, which had a production of 350 kg per day, exported mainly to Austria, Switzerland, Germany and France, where little by little chocolate became a passion for many.

In 2013, in one of the Turin’s characteristic coffee houses, while conversing and enjoying a Mon Chéri (a famous small and exquisite chocolate with a heart of cherry, soaked in liquor) the Parisian galleries VALENTIN and JEANROCHDARD conceived of a joint venture project room. A meeting of tastes which generates a unique flavor and a spirit that embraces the fast and ever changing shades of colour. The contrast between two elements, the strength of the interior which reflects the intent of the new Belgian space. It focuses on the challenge of offering the contemporary art world the best young artists. It was designed as a new combination, whose flavor is not yet well known.

Black Box gives the visitor the opportunity to experience a situation of visualisation. The tents determine an aesthetic context, of approach and ownership at the same time as they include content under development. Arranged in the space as kinds of totems, the six insulating tents or growing rooms portray the scenario of a shift, a decision and suggest a hidden or invisible content. Kasper Sonne questions here the role of the individual and free will within their cultural and social context.
