Émilie Pitoiset — Portrait Avec « Vous arrivez trop tard », Émilie Pitoiset place sa propre cérémonie dans une scénographie précise, tendue, monochrome et quasi minimale dans laquelle se retrouvent ses accessoires, objets et/ou décors.

Curated by Claude Closky

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 suggested the participants to show a work, or design an intervention in the space and media of their choice, so that this space fully becomes an element of their work. The title of the exhibition “This & There” focuses on the pair, object (or action) and place. It is a pun on two common and unsolved expressions, “This and that” and “Here and there”. The intention 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.

A paper map will be distributed to the public and a book will be published for the end of the exhibition.
