Vincent Meessen’s exhibition Sire, je suis de l’ôtre pays is at the centre of this day of discursive presentations, during which the maze of the Situationist International will be further explored. A number of underexposed case studies will act as backdoors to the question at stake: how has architecture been used by the avant-garde to reinvent the everyday or, alternatively, to create a new “elsewhere”?
