EXHIBITION
« Theme: In an apartment. »
(Letter from Le Corbusier to his mother, July 3, 1935                         )
Mélanie Feuvrier et Hugo Fortin

2021, June, 3rd > 26
Maison La Roche

In numerous letters to family and friends, Le
Corbusier willingly plays the game of
association of ideas and follows the thread of
his imagination. He moves from one place to
another and speaks of the resonances they
have with each other in his mind and in his
memories. During his first summer in his new
apartment on Nungesser street in Boulogne,
the garden on the roof-top terrace reminds
him of the villa Le Lac in Switzerland. He
evokes this resemblance like a retinal
persistence to which -precise or vague-
emotions and memories are tied up.

It is this intuition that we explore in our
exhibition by moving the place of our
residency (the apartment-atelier on
Nungesser et Coli street in Boulogne) into
that of the exhibition (the Maison La Roche in
Paris). By telescoping the apartment-atelier in
an abstract way (the choice of colors and the
repetition of the mark left on the floor by the
door of the bedroom) within the Maison La
Roche, we insist on this essential fact that
each place we visit is always inhabited by our
own ghosts. To be present somewhere is
always projecting other places and bringing
back their irreparable absence.

            Meet the artists on Saturday, June 5 and 26, 2021 at maison La Roche.

An exhibition in partnership with the Fondation Le Corbusier and the Beaux-arts de Paris.

With the support of the Association des Amis des Beaux-arts, Inapa, Jean François
Dedominici, Ûfacto and Document Store.

Mélanie Feuvrier and Hugo Fortin

                       participatory projects and
                       residencies where they explore the
                       question of the role of the artist
                       and the status of the work of art as
                       the result of an encounter between
                       people and places. They have been
                       welcomed in residence at the
                       Foundation as part of our
                       partnership with the Beaux-Arts de
                       Paris.
