October 2017.
Grand Palais. Paris.

After Hans-Peter Feldmann, Thomas Bayrle, and Jonathan Monk, in 2017 Lab’Bel has invited Belgian visual artist Wim Delvoye to design its fourth Collector’s Edition Box. Wim Delvoye produces a kind of value-emulsion, a hybrid of mass-product and uniqueness.

For the second consecutive year, Lab’Bel unveils its Collector’s Edition Box at FIAC 2017 – the International Contemporary Art Fair – in Paris from October 19-22.

For only 5 euros, collectors and lovers of contemporary art can acquire what is certainly  the most affordable works at FIAC from an installation with the look and feel of a miniature carnival.

Lab’Bel also presents on this occasion a new portrait-film dedicated to Wim Delvoye, directed by François Prodromidès. This film  complements a collection of three films dedicated to the conception of the Collector’s Edition Boxes created by Hans-Peter Feldmann, Thomas Bayrle and Jonathan Monk. These films can be found online on  Lab’Bel website: http://www. lab-bel.com/en/box/
