... a utopian gallery.
Which is it?
The Galerie sans lieu (lit. Gallery without place) comes from the union of a desire and an observation : the desire to show the work of diverse artists, and the increase of alternative places which host exhibitions.
My aim is to make people meet, to give opportunities to the artists to use such spaces.
The Gsl records these meetings, and it was thought as a showcase for the artists who are represented. It ws a threshold to cross, to reach a virtual net and real exhibitions.
Who am I?
I worked jointly with the artists, yet I wouldn't have defined myself as a curator, because the ways and means of our collaboration change according to the person. What's more, the artist's word will always take priority over mine.
Involved in the non-profit organisation Le 188, a cultural structure in Lille, I founded the project 188EXPOSITIONS, which aimed to promote the work of breakthrough artists.
The project was the starting point of a more general reflection upon what I used to call "secondary exhibition places", which I studied under the direction of Cécilia Hurley-Griener at the École du Louvre.
After studying history of art, aesthetics and philosophy, I chose to devote myself to art being made.
This website is the archive of what I sketched towards this.
