"Do it yourself"
Paul Cox's project for the CENTQUATRE is called "Exposition à faire soi-même" (D.I.Y exhibition). A large scale model of the CENTQUATRE is displayed on a fairly low table (44 cm) to give easy reach to the inside.
A second table, of the same size as the first and next to it, is divided into two parts: it contains a virgin work surface, and compartments containing different construction materials placed by type: wooden and plastic blocks, polypropylene plates, metal rods, thread, wire, fabric, pebbles, polyurethane foam etc.
The public is invited to construct its own installations in the model, which is large enough (510 cm x 170 cm x 50 cm) to allow several builders to work on it at once.
Visitors can use the materials provided for them or bring others as they wish. By taking photo of their work, they will have the ability to feed the "exhitheque", a new participative wall of pictures that takes place in the 104 2.0 area.
The model will be installed successively in different spaces of the CENTQUATRE, beginning with the Curial's nave.
Rendez-vous
"Pendant cet atelier, on construira dans la maquette l'installation la plus grande et la plus belle possible. On commencera par réfléchir ensemble et par faire un projet avant de se mettre à l'ouvrage. L'installation terminée, on réalisera des petits personnages à l'échelle à l'aide de photographies découpées, que l'on placera dans la maquette. On photographiera le tout en essayant que ça ait l'air le plus vrai possible. Puis on archivera fièrement le résultat sur le site du CENTQUATRE."
