Conversation: Amélie Laurence Fortin & Didier Morelli

Fonderie Darling is pleased to invite you to a public conversation between artist Amélie Laurence Fortin and independent curator and critic Didier Morelli. The event will be an opportunity to discuss the themes of the exhibition Yarn of a Short Night presented in the spring of 2023. This exhibition is the culmination of a cycle of work that questions the way we position ourselves in relation to different orders of magnitude, dealing in particular with the notions of exploration, time and territory. In a spirit of reflection and speculative dialogue, Amélie Laurence Fortin and Didier Morelli invite you to take part in a discussion of these ideas during a period of exchange that will follow the conversation. 

The event will take place in French.
