Le pavillon Neuflize OBC - The Green Ray

Palais de Tokyo, Paris

A project where performance, concert, variations, dilations, hypotheses and potentials are intermingled with work of Jerome Allavena, Einat Amir, Elisabeth S. Clark, Alexandra Ferreira et Bettina Wind, Estelle Nabeyrat and Charlotte Seidel. 1882: Jules Verne writes Le Rayon vert (The Green Ray), a novel inspired by an eponymous optical phenomenon. 1947: As part of the Exposition internationale du surrealisme (International Surrealism Exhibition) at the Galerie Maeght, Frederick J. Kiesler presents a series of installations, the first entitled "Salle des superstitions" ("Superstitions' room"), the second "Totem des religions" ("Religions' room") and the last Le Rayon vert, an assembly he designs as the place where the arts converge to develop a magical architecture in opposition to the architecture of Le Corbusier. 1986: To make a film entitled Le Rayon vert (The Green Ray), Eric Rohmer draws inspiration from some lines written by Arthur Rimbaud: "Ah ! que le temps vienne / Ou' les coeurs s'eprennent" (Ah! Let the time come / When hearts are enamoured). Since 1989: Some people have claimed that the Virgin Mary appears in the sky at California City, in the heart of the Mojave Desert at a given time on the 13th of every month. So hundreds of pilgrims flock there regularly, scanning the clouds, hoping to see a celestial vision. The exhibition bearing this title forms confluences as strange as optics and love, the instant and superstitions. Each of the works shown on this occasion develops a special relationship with time, its variations and experiments involving it. In an oscillation of every possibility, the residents at Le Pavillon are presenting a project where performance, concert, variations, dilations, hypotheses and potentials are intermingled.
