A collaborative project between the artist and Alexis Vaillant
For the exhibition "... In The Cherished Company of Others...", about 100 works by Marc Camille Chaimowicz will be on show. With the complicity of the curator Alexis Vaillant, moderator of the dialogue by which the exhibition took shape, it has been decided to combine Chaimowicz's works (including drawings, decorative and functional objects, wallpapers, maquettes, sculptures, paintings, and a revisited installation) with notably numerous architectural models, bookplates, diplayed along side other international artists whom Chaimowicz's feels empathy with. Conceived in the spirit of a playful inquiry and ‘flânerie’ - characteristic of Chaimowicz's indiosyncratic dandyism- this 'collective retrospective' highlights the idea that an artistic production can be inhabit on the same level as its mental ‘backdrop’.
