Overview

“Above the desert, the silence was as vast as the space“ expands the classical rotunda into a simulated grid space, transforming Renaissance architecture into a digital illusion. Blue perspective lines stretch across the walls, evoking the sensation of expanded space, or an unfinished rendering. The atmosphere carries faint echoes of Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey and Superstudio’s infinite grid—spaces at once austere and utopian, suspended between fiction and reality. Within this matrix, several paintings appear to float, like glitches or windows into alternate worlds, where organic marks and narratives puncture the grid. The dialogue between the hall’s grandeur and the fragile, playful geometry of the virtual frame turns the entire room into a threshold: between past and future, between solid columns and immaterial simulation.

About the Artist

Florian Meisenberg was born in 1980 in Berlin, Germany and lives and works in New York. Meisenberg’s work oscillates between and encompasses painting, installation and film. Meisenberg’s paintings simultaneously conjure lightness and depth; they vary greatly in density and rendering, employing multi-layered compositions that display themes of digital apprehension and abstract interiors alongside cartoonish figures and scrawling statements. His delicate, oblique films capture intrigue in the banal moments of contemporary existence.

About the Interior Designer

Having spent the better part of a decade working in her family’s business in the manufacturing and distributing sector, Jean Liu decided to turn her love for interior design and antiques into her own venture. In 2007, she founded her eponymous studio, specializing in luxury residential and boutique hospitality projects. Albeit taking a circuitous route to pursue her passion, the analytical and problem-solving skills she acquired in her previous life proved to complement her innate eye and interest in this chapter. Her work can be described as art-centric, collected, and personal. Her projects have been featured in publications such as House Beautiful, WSJ, Veranda, Architectural Digest, Garden and Gun, and Elle Décor. Jean also holds degrees in nothing related to Interior Design—BSFS, Georgetown University and MTS, Harvard University.
