Helena Almeida, Sans titre, 2010 Collection 49 Nord 6 Est – Frac Lorraine, Metz (FR) © H. Almeida
Everydayness, the exhibition curated by Béatrice Josse and Aneta Szyłak is dedicated to the minuscule gestures, repetitive chores, volatile forms, intimate moments and disappearing words. What is nearness and what is being together? We are observing the atmospheres of togetherness. What is the everydayness raptured by the brisk notice of something unusual, beautiful and rare? We are interested in the pragmatics and poetics of the simple form. In the extraordinary in the ordinary. But also we question how repetitions, working according to the predefined conduct reinforces hidden orders of oppression, violence and economic dominance. The everydayness consists of the complex, predominant organizational strategies and the micro-tactics of survival, infiltrating the cracks in the system.
