\nThe exhibition will include the new edition project of the FLAC (Fondation Lausannoise pour l\u2019Art Contemporain) L\u2019action Lausanne contemporain at Kissthedesign with a limited edition by Thomas Koenig.<\/p>\n
\nHe plays with art codes, he raises bad taste and low cost to luxury art goods and the pedestal get over the artwork.
\nIn this context of dissonance, duplication, curious combination or accidents, the dialogue between Thomas Koenig’s work and the mid century design furniture of the gallery should be very exciting!<\/span><\/p>\n
