Sophie Calle Exhibition "À Toi de Faire, Ma Mignonne" at The Picasso Museum, Paris

The exhibition by Sophie Calle at the Musée Picasso takes over all four levels of the museum. On the first floor, Calle explores themes of blindness and the gaze through a collection of objects, photographs, and videos. This includes works responding to Picasso's fear of losing his sight and an anecdote told by Cocteau about Picasso observing a half-blind painter creating a painting through his wife's descriptions.

À TOI DE FAIRE, MA
MIGNONNE.
A SOPHIE CALLE EXHIBITION
AT THE MUSÉE NATIONAL
PICASSO-PARIS

OCTOBER 3, 2023 – JANUARY 7, 2024

Sophie Calle celebrates in her own way the 50th anniversary


of Pablo Picasso’s death, taking over all four levels of the
Hôtel Salé with a unique exhibition proposal.

Divided in four sections corresponding to the museum’s four


levels, À toi de faire, ma mignonne takes the opposite view
from the many events of the Picasso Celebration 1973-2023,
which focus on the Spanish artist. Sophie Calle’s exhibition
takes a curious, quirky look at a selection of Picasso’s most
emblematic works, whose images or memories the artist
summons through a personal narrative that unfolds on
the museum’s first floor. In this exhibition, which unfolds
independently of Picasso on each floor and takes on a
deliberately retrospective character, Sophie Calle explores
some of her central themes, such as blindness and death,
using archives and writings as sources and raw materials for
her work. Rising to the challenge of the invitation, the artist
interrogates the critical reception of her work and her concern
to pass it on to future generations.

EXHIBITION ROUTE
PICALSO
Level 0

The ground floor of the Hôtel Salé marks Sophie Calle's debut at the Musée
Picasso. With the exception of the three self-portraits of Picasso that surround
the artist as his cutie, embodied here by the presentation of the detective novel
that gave title to the exhibition, the upstairs plays on a hollow presence of the
Spanish painter. Supported by a personal narrative, Sophie Calle initiates the
dialogue by using anecdotes and memories - some dating back to her childhood
- as well as visual counterpoints and diversions. In "Picasso in lockdown", we
see the paintings hung, protected from the light and photographed during
their confinement. The "Phantom Picassos", five of Picasso's major paintings
covered in large curtains, embroidered in the same format as the works, are
also absent, with descriptions gathered from museum staff at a time when the
works were on loan outside the museum. Finally, a monumental composition,
in the format of the famous painting Guernica, is a collective work, bringing
together nearly two hundred photographs, objects and miniatures from Sophie
Calle's personal collection, most of them the result of exchanges with artists
ranging from Christian Boltanski and Tatiana Trouvé to Miquel Barceló, Damien
Hirst and Cindy Sherman.

Room 0.1

2019. First rendezvous and proposal for occupying the Musée Picasso in 2023,
to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the artist’s death. Without HIM, if I prefer.
My mother’s words wend their way in, imposture syndrome in their wake. At
an opening at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, upon seeing my works
between those of Hopper and Magritte, she exclaimed: “You really fooled
them!” This time, I imagine her whispering, “Why you?”

Let’s recap.

There’s my very first work, or at least the one my father gave that status to by
framing it and retraced the caption penciled on the back which had faded.

I was maybe six years old, and this drawing made my grandmother say that
there was a Picasso in the family.

There’s Tête, a Picasso stolen from Chicago, whose composite portrait I’d made
from the recollections of those who’d known it.

There’s Prolongation, the title of one of his exhibitions in Avignon, which I


promised myself I’d borrow one day.

It’s thin.

Picassos in lockdown.
Second rendezvous at the Musée Picasso, during the lockdown. No visitors. The
Picassos were under protection, wrapped up, hidden. Underneath — a ghost-
like, less intimidating presence that I immediately photographed. Even before
I knew it, I had accepted.

During my first visits, La Mort de Casagemas, Grande baigneuse au livre, Paul


dessinant, Homme à la pipe et La Nageuse were missing due to being on loan.
I asked the curators, guards, and other museum staff to describe them to me.
When they returned, I veiled them in the memories they leave behind in their
absence.

WITH CLOSED EYES
Level 1
The first floor opens with an anecdote recounted by Cocteau about Picasso
observing a half-blind painter in Avignon painting the Château des Papes using
only his wife's words. In response to Picasso's well-known fear of losing his sight
one day, Sophie Calle has brought together a collection of objects, photographs
and videos devoted to the theme of the gaze - closed, unseen ("Voir la mer"),
private ("La dernière image", "Les Aveugles"), and so on.

Picasso told me he’d seen an old, half-blind painter in Avignon, in the square
of the Palais des Papes, painting the castle. His wife, standing next to him, was
looking at the castle through binoculars and describing it to him. He painted
based on his wife’s description. Picasso often said that painting is a blind
man’s job. He paints not what he sees, but how he feels about it, what he tells
himself about what he has seen.
Jean Cocteau

THE BLIND

Room 1.3
I met people who were born blind. Who had never seen. I asked them what
their image of beauty was.

In Istanbul, a city surrounded by the sea, I met people who had never seen it. I
filmed their first time.

My mother wrote in her diary: ‘Sophie is so morbid that she will come and visit
me more often in my grave than in Rue Boulard.’ As for me, to keep death at
bay, I photographed cemeteries, filmed my dying mother, tried to organise a
dress rehearsal for my funeral, owned a burial plot in Montparnasse before
relinquishing it for family reasons, and scattered envelopes around my house
containing so many wills written in haste before each trip. So as then to move
on to other things.

MY MOTHER, MY FATHER AND ME...
Level 2
On the second floor of the museum, Sophie Calle inventories her possessions in
a spectacular display. Introduced by a series of works dedicated to the theme
of disappearance, from the disappearance of the artist's parents to his own
simulated death, the visitor passes through several rooms where more than
500 of Sophie Calle's objects - drawings, paintings, photographs, objets d'art
and curiosities, rare books, crockery and furniture - are exhibited in the manner
of the Hôtel Drouot.

In Picasso's personal archives kept at the museum, Sophie Calle found a letter
from an association for blind artists, asking Picasso for an original drawing to
be used to build the Maison des yeux clos with the proceeds from the sale.
Having failed to find the answer, Sophie Calle appealed to the generosity of
the Almine and Bernard Ruiz-Picasso Foundation to organise an online sale of
a Picasso ceramic during the exhibition, organised by Drouot Estimations, with
the proceeds going to an association for the visually impaired.

Room 2.4
Why should I throw away that which was kind enough to reach my hands ?
Pablo Picasso

My mother is dead, my father is dead, I have no children. When I’m gone, what
will become of my things? With no named heirs, a public sale may happen to
me; sold at auction. If I want to exorcise the fear that when I die their shared
history, as well as the one that links them to me, will be erased, I must begin with
the dress rehearsal of what will happen to my estate. So I asked the auctioneers
at Hôtel Drouot to stage my nightmare, to value the possessions in my house
in Malakoff and to draw up a descriptive inventory of my moveable assets, but
not an estimate.

In accordance with the practices of the profession, only those lots worthy of
description were listed. This means that household appliances, bedding and
paperwork were excluded. With the exception of those that form part of the
décor, I have chosen to exclude my own works of art, since their history has
already been catalogued, as well as the jewellery I wish to wear when dead.

Level 3
The third and final floor offers an overview of Sophie Calle's projects. An
inventory of the 61 completed projects is presented in the form of thrillers
whose titles echo the artist's series. This is followed by a series of unfinished
projects, bringing to life incidents along the way, sketches and attempts, works
on hold and in jeopardy. At the end of the exhibition, Sophie Calle takes physical
possession of an upstairs room, setting up her office, which she will keep open
at all times throughout the exhibition.

Room 3.1

INVENTAIRE DES PROJETS ACHEVÉS


I wanted to draw up a list of all the projects I’ve completed since I started. I
counted sixty-one. As I had been tempted one day to borrow a title from crime
novels, I went through the inventory and I had the feeling that those titles were
waiting for me.

CATALOGUE RAISONNÉ OF THE UNFINISHED


I hate the finished. Death is final. The gunshot finishes off. The almost finished
is life.
Pablo Picasso

But if everything stops, what will become of the ideas that are on hold, waiting
for their time, in boxes and coffins? Before dying, we must make an inventory
of the sketches, the attempts, the abandoned efforts, and bring the intentions
to life. A way of finishing with them. Finishing the unfinished.

ARTIST AND CURATOR
Sophie Calle has been the subject of numerous
exhibitions around the world since the end of
the 1970s. Alternately described as a conceptual
artist, a photographer, a videographer, and even a
detective, she has developed her own, immediately
recognisable approach, combining text and
photographs to create an idiosyncratic narrative.
Her works form a vast system of echoes and internal
references, interconnected like the chapters of
an overall work, in which Sophie Calle blurs the
boundaries between private and public, reality
and fiction, art and life. Her work meticulously
orchestrates an underlying reality – her own or that
of others – whilst leaving room for chance.

MUSEUM CURATOR
Cécile Godefroy is an art historian, with a doctorate from Paris
IV - Sorbonne University. She is a member of the International
Association of Art Critics, and the Director of the Picasso Study
Centre, which will open in December 2023 at the Musée national
Picasso-Paris. A specialist in the historical avant-gardes and
questions of interdisciplinarity in art, she has taught at French and
American universities in Paris and curated the exhibitions "Sonia
Delaunay. Les Couleurs de l'abstraction" (Musée d'Art Moderne
de la Ville de Paris - Tate Modern, London, 2014-15), "Marcelle
Cahn. En quête d'espace" (Musée d'Art moderne et contemporain,
Strasbourg; Musée d'art moderne et contemporain, Saint-Etienne ; Musée des beaux-
arts de Rennes, 2022) and several original exhibitions devoted to the work of Pablo
Picasso ("Picasso. Sculptures", Musée national Picasso-Paris - BOZAR, Brussels, 2016-
2017; "Les Musiques de Picasso", Musée de la Musique - Philharmonie-Paris, 2020;
"Picasso ibero", Centro Botín, Santander, 2021, and "Picasso et la Préhistoire", Musée
de l'Homme, Paris, 2023).

EXHIBITION VISITS
À toi de faire, ma mignonne takes the opposite view from the events of the “Picasso
Celebration 1973-2023”, which put the spotlight on the Spanish artist. Rising to the
challenge of the invitation, Sophie Calle divided the exhibition into four sections
corresponding to the museum’s four levels. On the first floor, Sophie Calle takes a
quirky look at a selection of emblematic works by Picasso. The upper levels follow a
more retrospective approach; the artist explores some of her central themes, such as
blindness and death.

SOPHIE CALLE IN MINUTE DETAIL


FAMILY VISIT
Warning! Artist Sophie Calle has taken over the floors of the Hôtel Salé. Who is she?
What do her works look like? Bring your family to the museum to investigate and
gather as much information as you can on the mysterious artist. The goal is to give an
information sheet to the master of the house, Pablo Picasso!

MUSÉO’PHIL
A PHILOSOPHICAL WORKSHOP AROUND THE EXHIBITION
For kids, without their parents
Is your child always wondering about the world around them, and are you out of answers?
Then sign them up for the Muséo’phil workshop! With our philosopher, children will take
part in a discussion on the question “What is an artist?” After a collective brainstorming
session, they will be able to directly compare their ideas to the works in the exhibition.

For families

Are you always looking for tips to entertain your child at the museum? Then bring
your family to the Muséophil’ workshop. You will certainly find inspiration with our
philosopher. This visit takes the form of a discussion: after a brainstorming session on
the question “Is art useful?”, parents and children will be invited to debate and directly
compare their ideas to the works in the exhibition.

THROUGH YOUR EYES


VISIT-WORKSHOP FOR FAMILIES
What did you see at the museum? What image do you retain of your favorite work
once it is no longer in front of you? How did you feel when you saw it?
In her work, Sophie Calle often explores the themes of memories, absence, and the
things that remain. After a visit to the galleries, children and accompanying adults can
experiment with one of Sophie Calle’s processes in our workshop. The goal is to draw
in pairs, with the child drawing with the help of your memories.

PICASSO CELEBRATION
1973-2023

UNDER THE HIGH PATRONAGE OF


MR EMMANUEL MACRON
PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC

2023 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the death of Pablo Picasso, and the year will be
devoted to celebrating his work in France, Spain and abroad.

Celebrating Picasso's legacy today means looking at what this major work of Western
modernism represents today. It's about showing that part of his work that is alive,
accessible and relevant today. The Picasso Celebration 1973-2023 was initiated by the
Musée national Picasso-Paris, the event's main lender and coordinator, and Bernard
Picasso, the artist's grandson and President of the FABA and the Picasso Museum in
Malaga. In Spain, the event is being organised by the Spanish National Commission
for the Commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the Death of Pablo Picasso. This
celebration is based around some fifty exhibitions and events to be held in renowned
cultural institutions in Europe and North America, which together, thanks to new
interpretations and approaches, will make it possible to review the state of studies and
understanding of Picasso's work.

Through a bi-national Franco-Spanish commission, the French and Spanish governments


have decided to work together on this major transnational event. The commemoration
will be punctuated by official celebrations in France and Spain, and will culminate in
a major international symposium in autumn 2023, when the Centre d'Études Picasso
opens in Paris.

It's a "Picasso today" that embodies this Celebration, and lays the foundations for the
Picasso-Paris national museum of tomorrow.
