André Simoncini is pleased to present a second edition/installment of Nicole Peyrafitte & Pierre Joris’s Domopoetic creations. After more than three decades of shared life, the couple now gathers and installs their most recent KARSTIC ACTION/WORKS on the three levels of the gallery:
On the ground floor, the Karstic Refuge where their domestic & political processes interconnect & transform.. A “live action” will take p[lace here on opening day.
In the basement, the Sanctuary, neither holy nor secret, but table/altar for their intimate domopoetric works.
One the first floor: the Canopy, where the diversity & resilience of multi-species relations can be experienced.
...
Domopoetics is the name Joris & Peyrafitte give to 34 years of daily practices in transforming &
intertwining their lives and works, be it through writing, painting, video, physical conditioning, cooking and all other shared household activities.
Karstic refers to the geological phenomena of dissolution and transformation at work in the formation of superficial or underground limestone topographies. Here it is taken literally and figuratively as nature and cave explorations are an important part of their process.
