Giacomo Picca - International Exhibitionit - Curzon Soho

The International Exhibitionist (IE) is an open proposal. It usually takes place at the Curzon Soho cinema in London. The aim of the IE is to be an open platform. It is a way to draw a landscape of the contemporary art scene. that Cyril Lepetit comes across.

This event has so far developed two main approaches:

(1)- Once invited to take part in the IE, the artists have the choice of the work they want to exhibit in the programme. They are not restricted to any medium. They only have to work with the idea in mind that the programme takes place in a cinema auditorium and that their contribution can be up to 9 minutes long. Each programme is one hour long and takes place on one evening only.

(2)- The IE is now also developing as an archive and Cyril Lepetit has been invited to programme special one of screenings in collaboration with various venues, art centres, festivals and university seminars. This July Cyril Lepetit curated the ‘Moving in Architecture’ installation at the Camden Arts Centre, London. A selection of artists’ films was staged in the gallery space in response to the ‘Archipeinture’ exhibition.The artists how have taken part in the International Exhibitionist are:
