"Storytelling" is an exhibition of a new kind that aims to make residency, production time and exchanges between artists the very heart of the artistic project by reversing the time, roles and usual dynamics of a museum exhibition. An exhibition that is conceived as a continuous production process and a new way of thinking about the relationship with the spectator, the artist and the museum. With an opening that would take place at the end....
The principle of the exquisite corpse of the surrealists serves as an inspiration and pretext to overturn the way in which the artists' work is presented, to question the transmission, the performance and to rethink the modes of narration, its approach and perhaps even its appropriation by the public.
Seven young artists (Sara Bichão, Chourouk Hriech, Celsian Langlois, Violaine Lochu, Lou Masduraud & Antoine Bellini, Hannelore Van Dijck) are invited, in the form of a short residency of one to three weeks, to implement an evolving project with the curatorial team, using clues left at each stage by the previous artist.
The exhibition will begin with the first intervention on an invitation to think about vibration, wave and composition. Visitors will have to experience an exhibition and its evolution in a different way. They will have the opportunity to see each artist take over the museum space and will be able to discover live behind the scenes of the setting up of an exhibition, in situ or via social networks.
This exhibition devoted to young creation seeks to shake up traditional codes of mediation and renew the very meaning of sharing with audiences. It is also a score composed with several hands.
