Searching for rue Simon-Crubellier
Thursday, June 15th, 2006
Searching for rue Simon-Crubellier is a video-sound installation by Norie Neumark and Maria Miranda, it is part of a cross media project that also includes the Internet site Le Quatrième étage :: The 4th Floor. The project was begun in Paris in 2004 while doing a residency at the Cité Internationale des Arts. The work takes as a point of departure the experience of being Australians in Paris and reading George Perec’s book Life a User’s Manual. In this book Perec creates a puzzle of a novel set in a building located in the 17th arrondissement of Paris at number 11 rue Simon-Crubellier.
The work poses the question: is it possible to bring something that does not exist into existence by searching for it?
Searching for rue Simon-Crubellier is on at Cité Internationale des Arts : 18, rue de l’Hôtel de Ville Paris :: 7th -17th June 2006
