This is Utopia, to Some underlines the complexity of identities while showing their continuity.

Le simple déplacement de l’objet vers la sphère muséale interpelle et interroge les limites de notre savoir. Que sait-on en effet de ces objets qui ornent les vitrines de nos musées et en remplissent les réserves ? Que disent-ils de ceux qui les ont conçus et qui les possédaient ?

Arseniy Zhilyaev — M.I.R.: New Paths to the Objects
Past: January 18 → March 30, 2014
Arseniy Zhilyaev creates an anti-utopian museum of contemporary Russian history. The title “mir” means in Russian both “peace” and “world”. Having recourse to parafiction, making art and politics fields in parallel into a museal display, is a way to test these borders between the sovereign and the institutionalized freedom.

This is a special blackout edition!
Past: October 11 → December 16, 2012
In a broader sense, the meaning of ‘blackout’ —primarily an electrical failure or momentary interruption, opens up to new organizations, perceptions and different ways of experiencing time and space. Every person caught in a blackout must redefine the potentiality of public space, relate to strangers and invent new temporary forms of organization.

When it Stops Dripping from the Ceiling (An Exhibition That Thinks About Edification)

In present times, some are calling for the invention of new terminologies that can more accurately discern phenomena affecting our lives, culturally, socially, and politically. Sometimes, the terms that we need are not to be reinvented but merely excavated and given new meaning. Edification is perhaps one such term.
