In 1985, the French Pavilion at the São Paulo Biennial presented a collaborative project titled La France à la Biennale, featuring Christian Boltanski, Daniel Buren, Bertrand Lavier, Sarkis and curated by Michel Nuridsany. The exhibition stood out for its interdisciplinary approach, blending visual art, installation, and sound.
The 'Association Française D'Action Artistique' issue a 10" record featuring audio works or conceptual soundscapes, designed to capture the essence of the installation pieces. Each artist contributed elements that reflected their signature styles, with Boltanski's focus on memory, Buren's exploration of space and stripes, and Lavier's manipulation of everyday objects.
Also issued is an accompanying catalogue offering an in-depth exploration of the exhibited works, serving as a critical and visual guide including texts, images, and descriptions of the artists' contributions.
