Le Fabuleux Destin du quotidien

Playing on the sometimes subtle boundary between art and design, this exhibition highlights what unites them: everyday life. The objects that surround us form close relationships—not only with each other but also with ourselves.

Le Fabuleux Destin du quotidien explores the interplay between art and design. Often, the line between the two is hard to define, and some works resist easy categorization. Is it value, function, or context that sets apart a work of art from a design object? It hardly matters. Beyond these outdated distinctions, the exhibition celebrates what truly connects them: the everyday. The objects around us are intertwined with our lives, shaping our experiences and perceptions. In the end, both artists and designers engage with objects—whether for practical, intellectual, or emotional purposes.
