Lafayette Anticipations is launching ‘The backstage of production’, a series of lectures through which the production team, in dialogue with curators and artists, shine a light on the processes of conception and production of the various artistic projects supported by the Fondation.

On the occasion of this public discussion, artist Tarik Kiswanson, curator Charles Aubin and production director Dirk Meylaerts will present the different stages of creation for AS DEEP AS I COULD REMEMBER, AS FAR AS I COULD SEE. Together, they will discuss the artistic challenges posed by such a performance.

Access to this event is free of charge but places are limited.

Tickets for Tarik Kiswanson’s performance AS DEEP AS I COULD REMEMBER, AS FAR AS I COULD SEE, which will take place from 17 to 20 May, can be reserved via Lafayette Anticipations’ online ticket service.
Born in Sweden and of Palestinian descent, Tarik Kiswanson lives and works in Paris. His work, that encompasses sculpture, writing and performance, reflects a commitment to the « poetics of métissage ».
Through different conceptual strategies of interweaving, both in the literal and metaphoric sense, Kiswanson seeks to make visible the need to be « in relation », as articulated by Edouard Glissant. His works are often activated by the presence of the viewer, all the while reflecting in turn his/her own unstable, erased or diffracted image. The artist graduated from Central Saint-Martins in London and the Beaux-Arts in Paris. His work has recently been exhibited at Fondation d’entreprise Ricard in Paris (2018), MRAC in Sérignan and Mudam in Luxembourg (2017).
