Vernissage Antidote 7

A remedy against gloom, the exhibition Antidote 7 gives colour to Galeries Lafayette. Guillaume Houzé has entrusted the curatorial staff to graphic designer Jean-Marc Ballée, who is expanding the circle of French artists to include a few stars from the international scene. In all, 21 artists took part in the project, including Pierre Ardouvin, Michel Blazy, Xavier Veilhan, Claude Lévèque, Mathieu Mercier, Ugo Rondinone, Jeremy Deller and Peter Coffin. An interesting mix of sculptures, drawings, photographs and paintings, which will delight the most refractory to the contemporary scene. As much as yesterday’s opening, which brought together all the protagonists of the project in a resolutely playful atmosphere.
