red district

Intervention carried out on December 7, 2013 at the Galerie des Pentes in Lyon (France), the opening day of the Fête des Lumières.


This group intervention, which I conceived and carried out, consisted of an exhibition during the evening of December 7, 2013 of a dozen artists in the window of the Galerie des Pentes in the 1st district of Lyon. Organised on the opening day of the Fête des Lumières, the artists were presented to passers-by in three contiguous booths bathed in red light. The protocol defined that participants could adopt any position they wished, but avoiding direct interaction with people in the street. The artists took turns for three hours, performing half-hour shifts each. During this time, the gallery remained open and welcomed visitors.


Through this intervention, I wanted to question the status of the artist in the eyes of the general public, but also with regard to the art market, its expectations and its rules: the constraints of its monetization in contemporary society, in the context of a hyper-competitive and increasingly standardized global art market.
