GUILLERMO SANTOMÁ PARIS 2022

ESPACE NIEMEYER
PARIS
JUNE 25th - 28th 
2022

Side Gallery was delighted to present an installation by Barcelona based designer Guillermo Santomà at the Kaleidoskope x Manifesto in Paris, during the summer of 2022. The four day festival investigated the process of deformation and creation through architecture, art and performance. Guillermo Santomá (b.1984) is a designer living and working in Barcelona. Since graduating with an MA in design, Santomà has worked in different formats, moving between design, architecture, sculpture and scenography. Santomà uses simple and primitive methods to alter familiar objects in a constant process of deformation, creating complete environments.

Kaleidoskope presented, after three years, a new edition in Manifesto format that was presented in Paris from 25 to 28 June. With the simultaneous opening of Men's Fashion Week, this festival assumed an important role, taking place at the emblematic landmark of modern architecture in Paris, the headquarters of the PCF (French Community Party), designed by one of our most legendary Brazilian designers Oscar Niemeyer.

KALEIDOSCOPE is a biannual almanac of contemporary aesthetics and a meeting place for a global community of creative minds. The magazine’s experimental approach spans print, live and digital.

GOAT is the global platform for the past, present and future. Since its founding in 2015, GOAT has become the leading marketplace for sneakers, and has expanded to offer apparel and accessories from streetwear and luxury brands.

Against this unique setting, KALEIDOSCOPE Manifesto brought together visionary artists and creators from different areas of culture across three days of talks, workshops, installations and music performances. The installations transformed the building into a dream-like landscape populated by imagined creatures, negotiating the boundaries of human and machine, reality and fiction, contemplation and desire. Meanwhile, the daily programming spanning art, fashion, architecture, music and film, interrogated what makes us “us,” and the forms of our individuality and our togetherness in the past, present and future.


Today, as the figure of the “author” becomes increasingly hybrid and collective, we witness the shift from a linear creation of value onto a “constellar” one that relies on curiosity, reciprocity and mutual inspiration, at times resulting into enduring synergies which open up an entirely new world for the artists involved. So, Guillermo Santoma gets involved in this avant-garde circuit in a profound way.
