French artist Eva Jospin has a thing for cardboard. Her sculptures are constructed solely from layer upon layer of this most basic of materials. But the works that result are anything but pedestrian: they are huge, highly intricate worlds that often resemble dense forests. A recurring theme for Jospin is the richness of the land, a motif that is at the center of her collaboration with Champagne house Ruinart during this year’s Gallery Weekend (27.04–02.05.2023). Inspired by the terroir that gives the drink its characteristic taste, the artist has created an exhibition of sculptures, drawings and embroideries that will be on show at the Ruinart pop-up in the Amtsalon art space in Charlottenburg. Besides the exhibition, the pop-up (which runs throughout Gallery Weekend) will host a Ruinart bar that will be serving bubbles daily until 20h. Art, conversation and a glass of Champagne: all the ingredients you’ll ever need for an inspiring Gallery Weekend.
