École Supérieure d’Art in Metropolitan Métropole, Metz
Opening: Thursday 25 February, 18.00 pm
Listen to your eyes is a twofold exhibition shown simultaneously at 49 Nord 6 Est – FRAC Lorraine and at the École Supérieure d’Art in Metropolitan Métropole (ÉSAMM).
This exhibition is, first of all, a site-specific work, conceived and produced for the event: a silent, luminous injunction of an eponymous piece by Maurizio Nannucci. On the roof of ÉSAMM, overlooking the city, Listen to your Eyes made itself at home.
Praise of silence, paradoxically, by those who are confined to it and by those who seek it to better overcome it. A selection of works inciting us to get rid of our automatisms and preconceptions, to detach ourselves from the norm, and to open up onto possibilities.
