For the inauguration of Demeure, RBX., ten international artists were invited to live at 41 rue Saint Jean for 5 days to create a landscape of the domestic during La Nuit des Arts 2015. For 24 hours, artists and visitors will live together; Daily routines, habits and private spaces appropriate for the use of a house will be integrated as working constraints to talk about events, rituals and intimacy. Rather than show or exhibition, we will talk about a constructed situation, as a set of interacting protocols, including as much the gesture of the artist as that of the visitor.
This project is a participatory and alternative model to the cultural industries, co-produced together, on the basis of the donation, the generosity and the availability of the actors of the neighborhood, sensitized meeting after meeting. The question to ask is no longer: “where to expose?” but rather is “how to exhibit here?” and “for whom?”.
