An exhibition designed by two artists and one curator: Mireille Blanc, Marianne Maric and Sandrine Wymann.

Based on the principle that there should be no stricter rules than emotion and curiosity, the trio has created an exhibition in which gesture and shape are used to explore images and practices that evoke pure pleasure. The project is built on dialogue between the artists themselves as well as between materials and techniques, with the idea of distorting the everyday, hybridizing objects, and creating illusions and artifacts in sculpture, photography, paintings, and installations.
Se faire plaisir [Take Pleasure] echoes the sense of pleasure found in sharing and playfulness, a pleasure felt by the body, taken in by the senses, and which speaks to our emotions.
Designed as a meeting ground for shared experiences, Se faire plaisir is a trivium of treble delight, where artists blend their practices under the amused eyes of the exhibition curators, who in turn stage them with caring attention for their visitors.
The exhibition hall, transformed with intimate landscapes and inner spaces, becomes a place of inebriation and alliance where objects and decorations remain strange and elusive, and where pleasures intertwine to multiply and distill intense sensations.
Se faire plaisir is imagined as a challenge for us to slip some generosity into our daily lives.
