Reader in Fine Art Dr Sharon Kivland will have work featured in SET UP, an exhibition taking place at the Cité internationale des arts in Paris this Friday 06 April. SET UP is a public rendering of the research projects of five artist/commissioner pairs as part of a collaboration between CEA (Association française des commissaires d’exposition) and the Réseau documents d’artistes.

Sharon Kivland will be reading from Un discours amoureux (A Lover’s Discourse) and highlighting the books of imprint MA BIBLIOTHÈQUE.

Un discours amoureux (A Lover’s Discourse)

I read unsolicited ‘encounter’ emails as if they were intended for me alone in a sincere desire for a real love relation, until their repetition bored me.I posted them on Facebook, while I sought their form. My friend A. C. wrote to tell me how much he was enjoying my lover’s discourse. The form became clear: after the French edition of Roland Barthes’s Fragments d’un discours amoureux (“Tel Quel”, Seuil, 1977).
