“The waiting room is in every way an in-between. Wherever it may be, this space with basic furnishing, poorly lit and uncomfortable, leaves no room for doubt: it is not a goal per se. It only serves as a transitional space-time continuum to other territories. No reason to spend more time there than necessary. And yet, we will stay longer than expected. We will have to find an occupation to spend that time.
But why wait? What is there to see beyond?” Simon Lamunière

Curated by Simon Lamunière, the exhibition partly comprises video works collected by André Iten at the Centre pour l’image contemporaine (CIC - Centre for Contemporary Images) between 1986 and 2008. Simon Lamunière was involved in the carrying out the CIC’s programme on an assignment basis from 1987 onwards, then as a curator from 1996 to 2003. In particular, he curated the “Version” biennials between 1994 and 2002. This exhibition is an extended dialogue about the works assembled by André Iten.
