The artist as curator. Round table with artists who founded curatorial projects around the theme "How to think of an exhibition as an artistic gesture?"

 

Antoine Donzeaud, artist and founder of the Exo Exo Gallery, Thomas Fougeirol, painter at the origin of numerous projects such as INTOTO and DUST: The Plates of Present, and Emma Passera and Violette Wood, artists and founders of the MOTHER collective, meet to discuss the artist as curator.

"We artists put a lot of ourselves into an exhibition", confided Thomas Fougeirol during a telephone conversation, this sentence resonates with Gustave Flaubert's "Madame Bovary, that's me", so the artist who creates an exhibition always leaves traces.

 A round-table discussion based on the following question: how to think of an exhibition as an artistic gesture? We will talk about the Womenhouse exhibition by Judy Chicago and Miriam Shapiro, how the spider weaves its web, why transform one's studio into an exhibition space, where the desire to produce hundreds of photograms with 136 artists comes from, and how to set up one's tent near a museum.

 

Discussion moderated by Mark Alizart.

Penser le Présent is produced with the support of Société Générale.
