Presented Alive
The first exhibition, that will open its doors to the public at the same time as the rest of the museum and that will last until the end of the year 2013, was entrusted to Jean Blaise, managing director of the “Journey to Nantes”. For this project, Jean-Blaise drew his inspiration from the building constructed by Corinne Vezzoni and the first aspects of the collection that arrived on site.
Sensitive to the intimate aspects and the literary potential of many of the everyday objects kept at the museum, he immediately called on a writer to create a link between everything, using literature, despite the fact that the objects came from a wide range of sources and each had their own specific history. Consequently he called on the writer, Joy Sorman and also sought the skills of Patricia Buck, the exhibition curator.
Together, they put together the “Presented alive” exhibition project using an enigmatic object kept in the collections of the Mucem. On the subject of metamorphosis, the itinerary offers a choice of objects from the collections, arranged around a text by Joy Sorman. This text will form part of a publication that is separate from the exhibition itself.
