Curated by Jérôme Sans, Jean-Max Colard, with Isabelle Bernini.
During Eldorado, the new cultural season of lille3000, several artists :mentalKLINIK, Mircea Cantor, Olga De Amaral, Kendell Geers, Laurent Grasso, Thomas Lélu invest in the "underground" room of the Palais des Beaux-Arts of Lille where the permanent collections of the museum, spanning Antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, are housed and exhibited. Like a treasure hunt without rules or order, artists develop the possible chapters of history as universal as it is turbulent, in which their work resonates with pieces in the collections that are inlaid with gold. In this exhibition, the quest to find treasure, a metaphor for the thirst for power, takes the form of a rite of passage, but also of a reversal of values.
