The inspiration for the group show at Balice Hertling is the work of Pier Paolo Pasolini, but particularly the topics raised in his 1975 text Gennariello: the pedagogical influence of objects (“the discourse of things”) and their linguistic power, intellectuals’ cynical acceptation of history, the conformism of modern society, and the irreversible damages provoked by progress. It is the second show inspired by this text that takes place at Balice Hertling; the first one was held in 2009 in the gallery’s very first space at 65 rue Rébeval.
