"Stilleven - Objects Break Free from Painting" is an exhibition that stages the decorative arts through the lens of still life.
The world of decorative arts comes to life in a creative way at the "Stilleven" exhibition. Organized by Inès Guillois, a final-year IESA student in the Master in Marketing and Distribution of Art, Ancient and Modern Art specialization, this exhibition immerses visitors in a visual experience in which decorative arts objects blend into compositions echoing the codes of famous still lifes. The exhibition also creates a link between the exhibited objects and film sets, thus offering a new perspective on this cinematic work.
Each arrangement is carefully designed to evoke still lifes, with objects displayed in scenes that seem frozen in time. From Vanitas to scenes of abundance, you will discover goldsmith pieces, curiosities, more common objects such as mirrors or game pieces, as well as floral compositions and much more. Their roles and symbolism will be addressed and explained.
What sets "Stilleven" apart is the link between the exhibited objects and film sets. With the participation of Maison Defrise, specialized since the 50s in renting objects and accessories for film and events, each object in the exhibition, coming from their collection, has a unique story. The exhibition thus creates an interaction between the static and the dynamic; visitors can see the objects come to life in the film clips and photos that will be shown throughout the exhibition.
"Stilleven" will open with an opening reception on Thursday, September 7 at 19:00 at the IESA Gallery (1 Cité Griset 75011 Paris).
It is an exceptional opportunity for art lovers, film buffs and the curious from all walks of life to dive into an artistic experience that redefines how we approach decorative arts objects.
