expo zéro

expo zéro is an exhibition project without any works: no photographs, no sculptures, no installations or videos. Zero things, not one stable object. But artists, areas occupied by the gestures, projects, bodies, stories, dances which everyone will choose to imagine. From this principle, ten personalities (artists, architects, theorists...) will be invited in residence into a place where they will afterwards present to the visitors their own visions, subjective and utopian, of what a "dancing museum" could be. A kind of "think tank" with moving objectives, expo zéro wishes to invite art in its most volatile manifestations. Through analysis, description, performance, movements and ideas which each "guide-artist" will develop with the audience, the geography, will be drawn of this expanding territory.
