Librairie (Book-shop): “L’écrit vain”

The creation of a reading room in the back room of a book-shop, complete layout: shelves (metal) for the books + specially made triangular table on casters (metal) + stools, each one different (metaphor for the eclecticism of the exhibition) + lighting.

Invitation of 47 artists of all kinds to work on the theme of publishing in all of its forms: books, book-objects, CD, posters, etc. In this room the public may consult all of the works.

Creation of window display + presentation of the artists’ works as well as an enormous cardboard box (90 x 80 x 120 cm) in the book-shop as a metaphor for travel.

With this taking place in a book-shop, this is a different kind of contact with the public – even, at least in part, a new public altogether.
