Swiss artist Fabrice Gygi actuates objects that embody notions of power and authority in this slick, apocalyptic show, which revolves around the theme of emergency response. In the front room, two giant tires with metal chains sit alongside Gas & Gaz, a locked steel shelving unit that contains rows of beige-lacquered gas tanks. An X-shaped leather-and-steel punching bag is elaborately roped from the ceiling of the next room, suggesting an act of bondage. In the basement, Gygi evokes the interior of a moving van by lining the walls with eight massive black panels with steel racks. The artist's sizable show extends into the BFAS space, where he arranges galvanized steel and wood furniture in two sterile installations titled Press Conference Room and Meeting Room, recreating the scenes of executive control.
