Pablo Reinoso is pleased to announce that two of his works are currently on view at Hangar Y, in Meudon (France), as part of the art center’s new outdoor sculpture program, which features sculptures from some 25 major contemporary artists, installed throughout the Parc de Chalais, wherein the Hangar Y is situated.
In line with the Hangar Y’s commitment to showing artists whose work adresses our relationship to the natural world, Pablo Reinoso is presenting L’observatoire de Meudon (2018) and Double Talk (2017), two installations that deeply interact with the surrounding natural environment.

The first, composed of three “Harmony Chairs” from the ensemble Le Cercle (2018), is made of steel branches that ascend towards the sky, subtly referencing the legacy of the Hangar Y building, a former dirigible factory and a landmark of France's aeronautical history converted into an exhibition space. Installed in front of the Parc de Chalais’ water basin, this ensemble will invite visitors to take a break as they stroll across the Hangar Y’s 8-hectare park, in order to contemplate the nature surrounding them, gazing towards the sky and the landscape that opens before their eyes. The gently swaying steel branches of the sculptures, oscillating with the breeze, will enable viewers to further connect with the surrounding nature.

The artist’s Double Talk, further develops on these themes. An iconic work from the “Spaghetti Bench” series, this 9-meter long sculpture is composed of an everyday bench, which extends to both sides, following an expansive movement that evokes the organic growth of nature.
