Final weeks to see Julien Monnerie’s Nouvelles Sculptures closing July 31st! Mounted on the wall, these sculptures cast in pewter acquire an uncanny frontality, returning as yet another species of culinary trompe l’œil of our Cake-or-Fake epoch.

Julien Monnerie’s solo presentation Nouvelles Sculptures is open through July 31!

Fruit Slice, 2026, is cast in pewter, and Monnerie subjects it to an intensive process of sanding, deburring, faceting, and polishing. Pewter is a proletarian material, the stuff of cups and spoons, everyday utensils, not sterling silver, nor platinum. There is nothing precious about its origins, yet the surface is intoxicatingly celestial, seeming to accept and reflect everything in the room without hierarchy.

Julien Monnerie’s Nouvelles Sculptures opens next Wednesday, June 24, 6-8pm. 🍇

Monnerie’s pewter casts are reworked remnants of that glorious age of culinary artifice. Produced by the workshop of Létang fils and once employed in French kitchens and dining rooms, they originally served to present ice creams in the guise of grapes, mushrooms, pumpkins or lemon wedges, simulating the freshness of seasonal produce.

“I never wish to be easily defined. I’d rather float over other people’s minds as something strictly fluid and non-perceivable; more like a transparent, paradoxically iridescent creature rather than an actual person.” – Franz Kafka, from his diaries.

“Listen, every object’s in flux. The Earth, time, concepts, love, life, faith, justice, evil–they’re all fluid and in transition. They don’t stay in one form or in one place forever. The whole universe is like some big FedEx box.” – Haruki Murakami, from Kafka on the Shore.

In Kafka on the Shore a teenage boy must escape a foreboding prophecy to achieve a fresh start. To defeat fate, he changes course using unexpected encounters with animals and magic objects. For example, overturning a white, round ‘entrance stone’ about the size of a vinyl record opens up a portal. The novel explores the permeable boundary between a floating world and an anchored reality.

In this presentation for Liste Art Fair Basel, artists Minami Kobayashi (b.1989, Japan) and Julien Monnerie (b. 1987, France) address how perceptions of the past transform our experience and awareness of the present moment. Together these artists conjure the feeling that even a daydream can help us to decipher an ever-shifting reality.
