Malekeh Nayiny (Iran).Exhibition from 8 February to 27 April 2008
It is the seventh exhibition held at L'Espace Vuitton. Inspired by the mythic trip initiated by André Citroën in 1931: the yellow cruise, this exhibition is curated by Hervé Mikaeloff.
The caterpillars cars equipped with Louis Vuitton luggages embarked on the road of silk, linking Beirut to Beijing. The leadership of this trip was given to Marie-Georges Haardt and Louis Audouin-Dubreuil. Together, they went on a trip to visit Beirut and Damascus, Baghdad, Tehran, Kabul, Peschawaru, Srinagar, Gilgit, Ouroumsti, Sou-Tchéou, Liang-Tcheou and Beijing. This raid also remains a technical, scientific and cultural adventure.
L'Espace Louis Vuitton gives contemporary artists from different towns and villages of this journey, the opportunity to reinterpret it.
The interest no longer lies in moving from city to city but in the commitment and knowledge of their country. Artists along the route become actors of this challenge by questioning their geographical territory and humanity. These photographers, videographers and visual artists offer a new map of the Middle Eastern region. Surely an exhibition not to miss.
