Fabien Vallos: Paratge

Past Exhibition
Written By Jonas Nicollin

28 October–16 December 2023

OPENING: Friday 27 October from 6pm

 

The exhibition Paratge by Fabien Vallos will present 15 years of banquet practice as “social sculpture” in the form of an archive-image installation.

It will be accompanied by a catalogue of 30 critical texts. The exhibition is produced in collaboration with the artist Dieudonné Cartier. Paratge is made with works and multiples of: Grégoire d’Ablon, A Constructed World, Margaux Bonopera, Théophile Calot, Dieudonné Cartier, Mattéo Crespino, Rodrigue de Ferluc, Juliette George, Ben Kinmont, Noémie Koxarakis and Aurélie Pétrel.

Paratge is a medieval Occitan concept that assumes a principle of equality both class and gender. It is a political and poetic concept.

During the duration of the exhibition, 4 banquets by reservation will be organized: November 10 and 24, December 2 and 15.
