Cachet de la Poste faisant foi — Une proposition des Pépinières européennes pour jeunes artistes — Fondation Hippocrène — Exhibition — Slash Paris

Past: January 11 → 25, 2016

Difficult to escape: souvenir shops in the most diverse businesses, stations at airports, tourist information offices in the receptions of hotels, postcards are everywhere and have the largest number of points of sale in the world. Symbol of mobility, the postcard becomes, within the framework of this exhibition, the artistic object.

“Cachet de la Poste faisant foi" ("Date as Per Postmark”) is an exhibition that will take place at the Villa Mallet-Stevens, the architect’s former workshop and emblematic venue, which will host all Pépinières artists on its walls. We invite the artists to take possession of a postcard in the way that suits them best (drawing, collage, engraving, printing or any other surprising idea). We also offer them to promote one or two artists of your choice by giving him a postcard. All postcards sent in time (date of postmark) will be exhibited at the Hippocrène Foundation-Villa Mallet-Stevens.

Generous and unifying project, “ Date as per postmark ” is imagined as a recovery of the written and artistic expression through the postcard object and through the intervention of artists, creative vectors of exchange and sharing.
