Présentation d’archives de la Maison Saint-Joseph was developed during my residency at .art.residency in Crépy-en-Valois, France. Through intuitive staging, juxtaposition, and speculative meaning-making, the exhibition functioned as a situated, embodied archive of my time there.
Installed on a 10-foot wooden table in the residency’s formal dining room, the display brought together more than 30 antiques, ephemeral items, and decorative objects from the site’s collection. A responsive approach was taken to arrange this semi-maximalist display, in which formal decisions were made alongside the discovery of truths, both historical and theoretical, that existed within each object.
This mode of working allowed me to explore new storytelling tools, especially when not working with contemporary art nor artists. I consider this exhibition a ‘second becoming’: one in which the curatorial operates as a method for understanding worldly intricacies, and where my practice can exist within their exploration.
