This first iteration of the curatorial project Inhale Exile, subtitled “the break,” consists of two parts: an installation in the space of L’escalier, and a screenings of video works punctuating the run of the exhibition. The smoke break and the discourses and speech acts (rumours, counter-histories) produced there are understood as aesthetic potentialities of smoking culture. In institutional contexts, these breaks have engendered reconfigurations of time and space, the sharing of informal comments or opinions, private thoughts in public.
“The break” included works by: Sean Lynch, Leisure (Susannah Wesley, Meredith Carruthers), Michael Fernandes, Gareth James, Roger Quallen, Alessandro Rolandi, Lawrence Weiner*, Philip Guston*, Richard Prince*, Lee Lozano*, Claire Fontaine*, Hans Haacke*, David Hammons* and screenings of videos by Nina Koennemann, Lee Kit, Erik Blinderman, Steve Carr, Knowles Eddy Knowles, Daniel Olson and Christian Boltanski.

As part of the launch of le merle #5, entitled “on ne répond pas à la question. contre toute attente on procède.” and folded into the event series trilogie électorale, I screened the video Infinite Cruelty, for nothing at Galérie UQO (20/10/2017) and at Musée d’art contemporain des Laurentides (MACL; 04/11/2017). I also realized a version of money drawing (Lump) at the MACL, seen above.
