Synopsis

An opera in (almost) one act, Cellar Door features some ten characters on the fringes of a variety of practices, disciplines, and areas of knowledge. Together they conjure up the outlines of a unique aesthetic production which includes pyrotechnics, geodesic domes, and bubbles of black champagne. The book simultaneously plays the role of a libretto, a guide to exploring a series of the artist's exhibitions, and a coded score giving access to an improbable Studio - (almost) that of Loris Greaud.
This book was published on occasion of the exhibition Cellar Door by Loris Greaud at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris (February 14-April 27, 2008) and the ICA in London (April 23-June 15, 2008).

Product Description

In early 2008, the influential and multifaceted young French artist Loris Greaud debuted "Cellar Door" at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, taking over the entire museum with scored events that included paintball performances and fireworks. This volume presents the project and its scores, thus serving as the libretto for a new art-operatic genre.
