Théo Hennequin

Théo Hennequin is a Brussels-based graphic designer and visual artist with a conceptually driven practice spanning culture, music and sport. He collaborates with institutions, artists, festivals and collectives, from major museums to independent structures, to articulate distinctive positions across print, digital and motion.

His practice is rooted in the circulation of images and forms between swiss rigour, experimental layering and popular cultures, from the football stand to the mountain trail, using the distance between them as a space for inquiry.

About

N-ième galerie

2024, Paris

Client: Palais de Tokyo
Collaborators: Laurent Mbaah (graphic design & web development), Marion Laser (copywriting & storytelling), Vinciane Dahéron (web-to-print)

Page Nth Gallery: dozens of green and grey cards, each with a title, an author’s name, an image and a short extract, are piled up and overlapping against a white and grey chequered background; in the bottom left-hand corner, a pink Tamagotchi displays a list of projects, and an orange explosion star appears in the top right-hand corner

The Palais de Tokyo asked us to design and develop a new page on their website, the N-th Gallery. It forges links between the various artists who curate its content in line with the constraints of this finite digital space: much like our relationship with the web, each new piece of information is pushed down the page to make way for the most recent. In a visual environment blending various codes and references from internet culture, the aim is to collaborate on the composition. The digital archives of La Friche #3 can thus be printed anywhere, particularly during open days, thereby enabling the cultivation and sharing of collective knowledge in a sustainable way.

Animation: the same small cartoon character icon, with black hair and green eyes, is repeated in a grid pattern across bands of grey in varying shades; a ball is visible in the bottom left-hand corner
Animation: icons (a grey head wearing a cap, a colourful printer with a pink halo, an orange explosion star) are scattered across strips of grey in varying shades
Page N – a gallery integrated into the Palais de Tokyo website, beneath its black navigation banner: the cards are arranged in a grid of three rows, featuring a variety of images such as a pink video game character, a meme, a portrait of a person with blue hair and the poster for the Surveillance Laboratory; the pink Tamagotchi is at the bottom left
Article page for ‘The Baseball Cap: Queerness & Correlation’ on the Nth Gallery: a long text in a column on the left, two profile portraits on the right – one wearing a rainbow-coloured cap and the other a khaki cap – and an audio player with a red LED display at the bottom right
La Friche Archive #3, printed in fluorescent pink and yellow using risography: three folded sheets float against a blurred background; one features the pink Tamagotchi, another a stylised head wearing a pink helmet alongside columns of text, and the last shows the cluster of cards from the Nth Gallery and the explosion star
