Primavera evokes certainly spring, but also new beginnings. What does it mean to be an artist that restarts elsewhere ? How to inhabit a space where I'm just passing through without falling into standardization ? How to integrate the venue and create my own path in a forest of foreign signs ? How to manipulate the iconography in order to exit my own folklore ? How does Paris make me move ? How to proceed to pruning, transcoding, and translation ?
Exhibition part of the cultural program hors-les-murs on the occasion of the exhibition Retour à l'intime, la collection Giuliana et Tommaso Setari at la maison rouge (Tram network) - 20/10/2012- 13/01/2013.
