Eyes wide open

Curiosity is a fluid that penetrates the places and crosses the times. It flows through the keyholes, spreads in the galleries and settles in the museums. It drips and exposes. It lingers in the corners. Curiosity covers works in its path. It then discovers them. What if the works were curious about us? Les Yeux grand ouverts is an exhibition at Le Cloître des Billettes under the collective gaze of disproportionate ocular globes. This is a trip between artworks and visitors designed by the French artist Ikse Maître in collaboration with the Dutch artist Vincent Breed. Its a collection of shared snooper twinklings and of glances full of desire to share.
