Ettore Favini (CRF 2012) has a solo show in Nîmes at Museé Carré d’Art Contemporaine, up until the 10th of October, called Au Revoir. Favini’s oeuvre uses a variety of media to explore the relationship between a work and its surrounding reality, and the possibility of suppressing the boundaries between the individual and the collective, the private and the public. Au Revoir has an open temporality which navigates through the textile memories inscribed in the Mediterranean area. The project will make its way from Sardinia to Genoa, Cairo, Chieri, then venture beyond the Alps to Nîmes; four cities who have fabrics in common, whose origins have traversed the world over several centuries – “jeans” and “denim,” whose existences are intertwined.
