An exhibition about birthdays and the ambivalence of celebration, as much exultation as an exaltation of bodies: letting go, wearing oneself out in this exercise that is as much ritual as it is a celebration of time.
The group exhibition Anniversarium Stress, through multiple media (drawing, painting, video, sculpture, installation…), conveys the ambivalence of birthdays between the joy of celebration and the melancholy of time passing. Bringing together a roster of invited artists, the exhibition toys with what a slightly dysfunctional party might be, where the various clichés associated with the idea of a birthday are played out and replayed: invitation card, guest, cake, candle, controlled or uncontrolled drunkenness, artifice, music and dance… and, in the background, our relationship to time. With works by Sylvie Auvray, Claude Closky, Vincent Olinet, Cécile Paris, Emma Passera, Jean-François Peschot, Elisa Pône, Tony Regazzoni, Franck Scurti, Jeanne Susplugas, Turpentine.
