Les Boîtes was a group show of the artists originally involved in the formation of Slugtown, and those who had exhibited at the gallery in 2017.
The title riffed off Marcel Duchamp’s La Boîte-en-Valise works, and featured individual works exhibited in custom-made shipping crates.

The crate-based display mechanic riffs off the ultimate end point for so much art; the storage crate in a warehouse or freeport. Paradoxically, objects made to be seen will spend much time stored out of site. The curatorial decision to frame the works in such a way acknowledges this, as well as the transportation process, and levels the exhibition playing field, allowing the works to exist in a space without hierarchy.
