An alternative. It’s what we’re always looking for. How to get on, how to invent oneself without getting trapped in a banal life? How to develop the self with passion as the only the motivator?

If nothing usually evokes an absence, a lack or a void, it is often at the frontier of nothing in which these artists excel. Through an apparent simplicity, their works both move and impact on the viewer. The pieces displayed in the exhibition share a similar aesthetic; one that is at once minimal and refined.

On Saturday, from one area to another, from Crédac to the Laboratoires d’Aubervilliers, passing by the Jeu de Paume in the Paris centre, the Pink Line trip will unfold according to the whims of Line 7.
On Sunday, it’s the very concept of hospitality which will pervade the length of this trip. The art space Camille Lambert will host Eva Nielsen and Jean-François Leroy.
