Valérie Mréjen's First Solo Museum Show at Jeu de Paume

Valérie Mréjen's first solo museum exhibition, titled 'La Place de la Concorde,' opened at the Galerie nationale du Jeu de Paume in Paris from April 15 to June 15, 2008. The show explores misunderstandings and language through video, film, and literature, dissecting everyday phrases and interpersonal relationships. Works include 'Portraits filmés' (2002), where people calmly describe personal situations; 'Voilà, c'est tout' (2008), featuring students speaking about dreams with surprising serenity; 'Hors Saison' (2008) and 'Capri' (2008), which depict tragicomic vacation tales and bourgeois couple quarrels; and 'Je ne supporte pas,' an installation where acquaintances list dislikes. The exhibition also includes 'Une noix' (1997) and 'Ils respirent' (2008). A co-published book with Allia and Jeu de Paume features Mréjen in conversation with about twenty participants.
