Atelier Hermés presents a group exhibition “Formes Du Transfert” by seven European-based contemporary artists through January 30, 2022.
“Formes Du Transfert” commemorates the 10th year of the Hermès Artists in Residency program. Since 2010, the Fondation d’entreprise Hermès has selected four contemporary artists each year to discover and reinterpret the materials and techniques used in the Hermès workshops. The exhibition uses leather as its theme this year and borrows the concept of “transference,” a psychoanalysis mechanism, which refers to the realization of a childhood desire in a present-day encounter.
Participating artists are Lucie Picandet, Vassilis Salpistis, Bérengère Hénin, Sébastien Gouju, Anastasia Douka, Io Burgard, and Yuhsin U Chang.
Fondation d’entreprise Hermès founded Atelier Hermés in Seoul to support contemporary artists and encourage their experimental artistic practices. The foundation also maintains exhibition spaces in Brussels, and Tokyo.
