Irreverence

Group exhibition bringing together twenty artists from Liège around the notion of irreverence.
The show travelled through three cities: Paris, Liège and Strasbourg.
In Paris, at the Centre Wallonie-Bruxelles, during the Belgian governmental crisis (one and a half years without a government), I proposed to block the windows with sandbags (see simulation). The project was refused. During the opening, a medieval knight (visible in the photo from Aux Arts etc.) hung a reproduction of the proposal and placed a single sandbag from Liège on the floor.
In Liège, the organisers reused the display structure of a previous exhibition: sixteen boxes for sixteen artists. I chose to block access to my “stall”.
In Strasbourg, sandbags were used to protect a vulnerable point in the exhibition space: the base of a load-bearing pillar.
