The Dancing Museum exhibits a series of photogravures by Argentinian artist León Ferrari. Those works will be activated by performative intervenings by artist Julien Jeanne (association Index), with the help of a group of amateurs and of sound artist Damien Marchal. Julien Jeanne will build a moving space at the border between exhibition and performance, producing series of visual, choreographic and acoustic actions.

Impossible knots of highways, roundabouts concentrating masses of people, structures where the use of cars and pedestrians becomes reversed, contradictory spatial organizations, unlikely constructions which throw us into a world of strange fascination. Associating and repeating several times the same elements - walls, doors, public urinals, people, cars, beds - he creates a new reality, or better, the staging of a hypothetical and oppressive reality.
