Fragments of Elsewhere marks a significant milestone for Secteur Privé as we unveil our group exhibition that blends art and design in a unique dialogue. This show is born from a collective experience of today’s world—a world that may feel complex, challenging and ever-changing, yet one where connection and creativity bring us together.
“Elsewhere” evokes a range of meanings—from distant places and timelines to overlooked perspectives, and from moments outside of everyday life to spaces of imaginative possibility. By bringing together creative visionaries from around the globe, we create a community that reflects the diversity and richness of contemporary life. This exhibition celebrates the shared human experience and the unifying power of creative expression under one roof.
Each painting in this exhibition tells its own story, carrying with it fragments of the artist’s lived experience, often intertwined with threads of nostalgia, memory, and reflection. These works invite viewers to engage with intimate narratives while resonating with universal emotions, bridging the personal and the collective. The brushstrokes and colors are more than aesthetic choices—they are acts of storytelling and gestures toward remembering and imagining.
Complementing these narratives are masterful design pieces that showcase exceptional craftsmanship and innovation. From Danny Lane’s striking, fluid glasswork that captures light and movement, to Mark Brazier-Jones’ cascading chandeliers that transform space through form and shadow, each designer brings a unique signature shaped by their process and materials. These works embody meticulous attention to technique, an embrace of both tradition and experimentation, and a celebration of materiality, whether it be glass, metal, or found objects.
Together, the art and design in Fragments of Elsewhere create a dialogue between mediums, methods, and meanings. The exhibition is not only a display of objects but a testament to the creative processes—where inspiration meets craft, and where individual vision contributes to a richer collective narrative. In these varied forms, the fragments come together in a shared exploration of connection, place, and time.
