Artists' practices are far from being as solitary as we sometimes imagine. While the studio is a privileged space for reflection and production, it is also a space of passage and emulation, living to the rhythm of the encounters and dialogues which occur. Although creation is mostly individual, it also owes a lot to these collective manifestations which, throughout an artistic career, sustain the creative process in its most vibrant expression, receptive to the many influences it encounters.

This carte blanche offered to David Douard, best known for his sculptures and installations involving the altered forms of language, reflects the way in which an artist interacts with their fellow artists - between reciprocal inspiration and fascination with each other's vocabulary. Invited for the first time as curator, David Douard presents a group show for the Fondation Pernod Ricard conceived as a total environment, which, through a variety of media and aesthetics, provides information on the way in which sensitivity is continuously developed.

The "Crumbling the Antiseptic Beauty" exhibition brings together artists from different generations and backgrounds, whose practices belong to painting, sculpture, photography and sound installation. The scenography, designed by David Douard, plays with the building's lines to restrict the usual circulation, staging these works into an intimate atmosphere, sometimes flirting with the domestic, in the image of an exhibition in touch with the restless mood of the present.

With works by : Marie Angeletti, Clémentine Adou, Grichka Commaret, Guillaume Dénervaud, Pascal Doury, Garance Früh, Gabriele Garavaglia, Isa Genzken, Morag Keil, Benjamin Lallier, Melody Lu, James Richards and Pascale Theodoly.
