To celebrate and capture varied perspectives of the SEYMOUR+ space project before it closed at 41 boulevard de Magenta in Paris. During the Summer of 2017, we invited creatives from our community to employ their preferred medium of expression to imagine their own interpretation of the space itself. We invite you to discover their offerings below.
 
SEYMOUR+ Space as seen by Leslie McAllister
 

 
Multi-media artist Leslie McAllister created an exquisite, hand-drawn book of her experience at the space. Leslie then created a video exploration of the book itself, which you can view above. The narrative blends her own impressions with the space’s existing practices/environments, resulting in a poetic dance between her consciousness and that of Melissa Unger’s.

SEYMOUR+ Space as seen by Alison Koehler & Yann Lagoutte
 

 

 

 
Artist Alison Koehler and photographer Yann Lagoutte teamed up to reveal the SEYMOUR+ space through a different prism. Alison’s specially created stained glass artwork took a magical trip around the space one evening. Historically, stained glass has been known to gently provoke visions and sometimes even altered states of consciousness; a fitting additional lens through which to view the space and oneself. The entire series is great, we had a hard time choosing which ones to feature. To discover them all, click HERE
