Ça & là (This & There) — Célébrer les 10 ans du Pavillon Neuflize OBC, Laboratoire de création du Palais de Tokyo, Paris — Fondation d’entreprise Pernod Ricard — Meeting — Slash Paris

Past: Monday, May 21, 2012 7 PM → 9 PM

I have been invited to realize an exhibition for the 10th anniversary of the Pavillon Neuflize OBC, Palais de Tokyo Laboratory for Creation by Ange Leccia and Christian Merlhiot, creators and holders of this laboratory and Colette Barbier and the Fondation d’entreprise Ricard that will host this project. Along with the exhibition at the Foundation space, I have proposed to the participants to show a work, to make an intervention, in the space and media of their choice, that is to say that this space will be a fully element of their work. The title of the exhibition is This & There. It focuses on the pair, object — or action — and place. It also plays with the two common and unsolved expressions «This and that» and «Here and there». The intent is to create situations that at the same time question and prompt connections with the occupied environment. Concretely, works will be visible in public spaces: museums, streets, metro stations; in private spaces: shops, flats; and in virtual spaces: web sites, blogs.
