We were delighted to invite you to the opening of Lucrèce, an exhibition curated by Olivier Bellflamme, which took place on Thursday, 30 May at 7 PM in our exhibition space et al.
Each solstice, lucrèce invites artists and architects to discover unknown territories from around the globe. The project attempts to question the very act of creation by realising artworks in unexpected locations such as the Montavoix in France, by the banks of the Blue Nile in Ethiopia, under the Parícutin Volcano in Mexico, or on antipodal sites in Laos and Peru.
The aim is to merge each artwork with the original cultural and natural environment, before carrying it back as a relic representing this unique moment and place. As an archeological fragment, each text, object, analog photograph, and video presented in the exhibition is the embodiment of a ritual that occurred once before vanishing, but that can still resonate in the observer’s mind.
With the works of artists and architects Antoine Devaux and Alexis Gautier, Olivier Bellflamme and Victor Costales, Viriya Chotpanyavisut and Ištvan Išt Huzjan, Ileana Niki Liaskoviti, Sophie Nys and Alexis Tronchet.
