Marc Jancou Contemporary is pleased to announce the exhibition Rive Gauche / Rive Droite, a group show organized by Marc Jancou in six unique locations around Paris. Rive Gauche / Rive Droite leads the viewer on a walk through Paris, allowing them to discover the works in the exhibition at their own pace. The show was inspired in part by Chambres d'amis (1986) at the Stedelijk Museum voor Actuele Kunst, Gent, in which artworks were displayed in local residents' homes within the city. Another inspiration for the show was The Meat Wagon (2005) at The Menil Collection, Texas in which works by Robert Gober were set in dialogue with objects from the permanent collection in unconventional locations throughout the museum, creating a series of unexpected encounters.

Rive Gauche / Rive Droite is the second in what will become a series of exhibitions held in various cities around the world. The first exhibition, In Geneva No One Can Hear You Scream, was held at BFAS Blondeau Fine Art Services in Geneva (April 2008.) The next exhibitions in the series will be held in Antwerp and Seville. A catalogue will be published by JRPRingier to accompany each exhibition. The catalogue for Rive Gauche / Rive Droite is published in French and English, and includes a series of questions with the artists prepared by Lionel Bovier and Marc Jancou, an introduction by Alexis Jakubowicz, and an essay by Yves Aupetitallot, the Director of Magasin Grenoble. It will be distributed internationally by JRPRingier in Europe and D.A.P. in the United States.
