Une Chambre à Soi

Château La Coste is pleased to present 'Une Chambre à Soi', a group exhibition curated by Margaux Plessy, bringing together more than fifteen emerging international artists in dialogue with four women artists who are figures in the history of art. On show in La Galerie de Richard Rogers from 14 September to 12 November 2024, this immersive exhibition will tell the story of a night, from sunset to sunrise. Visitors will be immersed in the warm, intimate world of a bedroom, moving from dusk to dawn to the rhythm of the works specially created for the exhibition.

A lover of literature and poetry, Margaux Plessy has borrowed the title of the exhibition from Virginia Woolf's essay A Room of One's Own, which evokes the themes of intimacy, secrecy and the possibility of the imaginary. Drawing also on her personal experience of insomnia, she has invited a group of French and international artists to create new works that express their interpretations of dreams, nightmares and restlessness, exploring sleep, or the lack of it, as a driver of creativity. This tightrope walk is accompanied by a story made up entirely of words, extracts and ideas borrowed from the greatest authors of French literature, collected and arranged like a centon by Magaux Plessy.
