Splendore - joie, joie, joie...
What if the name of a cocktail (½ Amaretto ½ Fernet-Branca) invented by Marcello Mastroianni during the filming of Splendor* could be the starting point for this exhibition to mark the reopening of the Fernet-Branca Foundation? And what if this cocktail was also the title of a poem by P. P. Pasolini:
Ô joie, joie, joie…
Y avait-il encore de la joie
dans cette absurde nuit
préparée pour nous ?**
Joy - protective, rebellious, liberating - is at the heart of a group exhibition featuring artists who see night, dreams and states of semi-consciousness between (r)awakening and sleep as possible extensions of reality, spearheads or predictive tools.
* Splendor (1989), film directed by Ettore Scola.** Splendore (1943-1943), P. P. Pasolini, in Poèmes de jeunesse et quelques autres (Ed. Gallimard, French translation, 1995).
With Benedikt Bock, Leolie Greet, Tenki Hiramatsu, Marlijn Karsten, Geneviève Morin, Leontios Toumpouris, Noémie Vidonne
Curated by Richard Neyroud
13.4.-7.7.2024
Reopening of the Fondation Fernet-Branca and vernissage
