TALES & TELLERS

MIU MIU AT THE PALAIS D'IÉNA, PARIS

As part of the brand’s collaboration with Art Basel Paris as Public Program Official Partner this year, Miu Miu announces ‘Tales & Tellers’ a major project at Palais d’Iéna headquarters of France’s Economic, Social and Environmental Council – as well as the site of the Miu Miu runway shows. ‘Tales & Tellers’ conceived by interdisciplinary artist Goshka Macuga and convened by Elvira Dyangani Ose, Director of MACBA, Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona. In the same location, Macuga also collaborates with Miu Miu on an artistic intervention to accompany the Spring/Summer 2025 runway show, on October 1 2024. ‘Tales & Tellers’ brings together a multiverse of narratives, but also the knowledge that thrives from them. Every collaboration and film commission Miu Miu Women’s Tales - and a selection of video pieces taken from the artistic interventions from Miu Miu runway shows since Spring/Summer 2022 - is represented in the show by a character, a hero or an anti-hero, directly extracted from these films and artistic collaborations. These figures in turn become the films’ custodians - agents of the narrative. Reenacted by real-life actors, alongside video projection of the original film, these tellers multiply their tales, their appearance serving as physical re-tellings of fragments of the story alongside the original. Performers of the self, as much of themselves, custodians here must be understood as guardians whose essential role is preserving the memories and sequences of her and others while making the stories accessible. Thus, in ‘Tales & Tellers’, the empty space of Palais d’Iéna is transformed into an accumulation of multiple everyday experiences, real and imagined, that of the custodians and the members of the live audiences that come to interact with them. ‘Tales & Tellers’ also includes screenings of all commissioned short films, together with a programming of conversations: influenced by Miu Miu’s collaborations across the spectrum of filmmaking, art and fashion.
