>>PLACES

« OH, NO, JOHN! » is thought as a touring exhibition, and will travel from an apartment to another. Apartments are chosen because they are the symbol and the materialisation of the daily life that we are concentrating about.
Therefore it is in private apartments that the exhibitions will take place, or in gallery looking like a private space.
About the scenery: all the pieces are shown in a strategic place, where their meaning is reinforced by where they are displayed. For instance, if the creation speaks about memories beyond a broken plate, then, it will be installed in the kitchen or in the dining room. Creations will take another tone in every place where they will be shown.

>>PUBLIC

This project is for all public. We wish to open the exhibition to people already interested in art productions as well as people who know less about those types of manifestations. The fact that it is all happening in flats, a daily space, is a first move towards an opening to a wide public. It is an invitation with an artistic vocation, to reconsider our daily life, in relation to the one of others. We want an art easy to approach and that encourages meetings and discussions.

>>>TECHNICALS DETAILS

Productions: The guidance, quite small, specifies however two things :
Productions cost are in charge of the creator/s Transport of the realisations are done by post, or from hand to hand which means that the work has to be easily transportable, not too big and nor too heavy.

-Estimated total weight: 30 kg, for all the productions.-
First addresses:

> Lyon : chez Julie - 3 rue Bonald – 69007

> Saint- Étienne : chez Caro - 9 rue Georges Teissier

We are waiting for news from the other participants, who are in charge to find a place in their own cities. Amsterdam, Barcelona, Bordeaux, Paris, Munich, Strasbourg.

>> DATES

Exhibition days are to be defined with the owner of the flat, depending of his/her possibilities. The first exhibition will take place in Lyon, on June 21, 2008. A second one is planned.
On November 2008, in Saint Etienne, at the same time as the Biennale de design de Saint Etienne. Other ones are still to be defined.
