EFFE presents... Coup de coeur #1-5

EFFE's first series of exhibitions, titled Coup de coeur, occurred at a studio in the Cité internationale des Arts in Paris, France, from April through June 2015.

The five solo exhibitions were curated as discrete entities, each responsive to the individual artist's needs, yet they also formed the five integral parts to the project Coup de coeur. Once grouped as a series, moving across a predetermined period of my residency at the Cité, they started to inform and shape one another through a shared sensibility; through overlaps in thoughts, and friends who would attend and reattend; through the conversations and celebrations that would go on; a rhythm emerged.

To read the texts I wrote, and to see photo-documentation of the five exhibitions, please follow these links to the website:
