For the inauguration of 42, Rue Quincampoix, a series of 18 ink wash drawings by Françoise Pétrovitch, imagined in collaboration with the writer Marie Darrieussecq will be shown.

Marie Darrieussecq, winner of the Medicis prize, has written a short story inspired by the work of Françoise Pétrovitch. In addition to nods to her iconography-birds, isolated landscapes and absent figures-the writer captures the melancholy and languor of the painter's works in her own words.

In return, in a rewarding dialog with the short story dedicated to her by Marie Darrieussecq, Françoise Pétrovitch has created a series of ink washes on paper. The words of the writer enter into conversation with the images of the painter. Their imaginations resonate, infiltrating each other like the ink that infuses the halos that surround the figures and silent landscapes they have invented together. These drawings, accompanied by the author's short story, feature in the artist's book, Très Exactement, published by Semiose.
