Fabrice Hyber's 'Pasteur' Spirit' Transforms Institut Pasteur into Artistic Laboratory
The exhibition by Fabrice Hyber at the Institut Pasteur in Paris took place from July 9 to 22, 2010, as part of the Campus philanthropes initiative focused on cancer and infectious disease research. Curated by Pascal Rousseau, the showcase spanned fourteen spaces and included various works such as the video surveillance piece 'Pousse Pousse', programmatic drawings, and a bin labeled 'Savon du savant'. The scientific information center displayed 'POF 73 GIGOGNES', 'Phantom Pommery', and the mural 'Pasteur' Spirit, while the auditorium featured the seven-meter bronze sculpture 'Grand Déplié'. Additional pieces included 'Peinture homéopathique n° 29' and three 'Mutants' in a greenhouse, with Hyber's goal of merging traditional forms with contemporary conceptual research.
