GROUP SHOW
DES CHAMPS DE FRAISES POUR L’ÉTERNITÉ
January 22 – April 2, 2022
Curated by: Marc Bembekoff and It’s Our Playground
(Camille Le Houezec & Jocelyn Villemont)
Marc Bembekoff, the director of the art center contacted
It’s Our Playground in January 2020 for the first time,
willing them to take part in a project, designing the
scenography of an exhibition which would be a safe space,
a protecting bubble against worldwide political and social
crisis. That was right before the pandemic and all the
turmoil that had lasted for more than a year, which postponed
all the program… So, when early 2021, the show was once
again considered, all agreed to collaborate on that project,
co-curating it, selecting the artists together and re-thinking
the purpose of the show in this new context, quite conscious
that it would be included in a long list of “post-covid” shows
– a risk and a chance at the same time. A risk for it to be
perceived as another show acting as a second wind, but also a
chance to look at artistic practices in search of magic, of
liveness in our new reality.
