Labo HO is an annual competition for artists and architects interested
in creating a project in residence at Marseille's bookstore-gallery
Histoire de l'oeil.L'Histoire de l'oeil is a space dedicated to the
contemporary arts. Both bookstore and gallery, the space can transform
to accommodate a variety of specific installations. Lab HO is intended
to provide the artist or architect who can take advantage of the unique
aspects of the space with all the material support necessary to realize
their project.The entire bookstore will be at the artist's disposal. The
artist will have the opportunity to interact with the space as a whole
or to use one of the many smaller spaces (the shed, the garden, the
terrace, or the bookstore proper).
The candidate's proposal should
include a description of how s/he would engage with the space for their
exhibition. In particular, the proposals must explain how the
installation will engage the unique architecture and context of the
existing space, and also consider factors such as the accessibility of
bookstore and the security of the visitors to the gallery. Read full listing…
