The École Supérieure d’Art de Lorraine – Metz is presenting, for the first time, an exhibition featuring 16 students from the Post-it workshop, held at the Galerie des Jours de lune from February 9, 2023, to February 28, 2023.

The Post-it workshop, led by professors Christian Globensky and Jean-Denis Filliozat, examines the relationship between artists and commissions and invites students to reflect on the notions of exhibition formats, publishing, and dissemination. The act of exhibiting—regardless of its form or duration—involves both the artist’s discourse and the commissioner’s brief within the context of an exhibition project. Combining theoretical and practical approaches, the students tackle this challenge six times throughout the year.

The exhibition hosted by the Galerie des Jours de lune is a standalone project, the details of which were kept secret until the vernissage.

This exhibition, titled En attendant Marcel, immediately evokes Marcel Duchamp—a key figure in conceptual art and the ready-made—as well as Samuel Beckett’s play Waiting for Godot, in which the very act of waiting becomes a central subject in itself.

This is the piece I chose to present in it.

Embroidery has the specificity of needing to change the point of view to change the direction of the line.
