To draw a balance and to discuss the future of living, of art and of café au lit, we cordially invite you to participate at this public meeting. The object is to talk about contemporary ways of living and how they do integrate art. We will discuss recent transformations in exhibiting artworks as well as "la nouvelle domesticité", new forms of domestic living. How do art create, transform, occupy our daily living space?

After this meeting you may visit, as part of the cooperation Paris Est, the opening of Nicole Eisenman's solo-show at Le Plateau.

Café au lit will close its space in 16, rue d la Liberté june 17, 2007. It will re-open a new, larger space in eastern Paris. Subscribe to our newsletter to be kept informed on our activities.

For the fifth and final exhibition, café au lit has invited Linda McCue, a Canadian artist living in Hamburg, to interact with the space in the rue de la Liberté.
Based on her recent series about room interiors and pictorial space, she will intervene in Café au lit with a wall drawing and painting installation. She will also show a selection of her recent drawings. This serves as a new living experience, for which you can make a reservation.
It will be the last show in the rue de la Liberté before the café au lit project evolves to "homestory" its next phase in a larger space. For more information, please subscribe to our newsletter.

Wednesday, september 13 from 6 pm until midnight, café au lit will open its forth exhibition, an in-situ work by Berlin-based painter Gabriele Basch. In addition to her painted canvasses, Basch creates cut paper pieces and wall drawings that expand the gallery into an exuberant, imaginative space. After the opening, café au lit's lodgers will live surrounded by a grand wall-painting "in-situ", especially conceived for the apartment. Please subscribe to our newsletter to stay informed and receive our invitations by e-mail.
The opening reception will take place as part of the cooperation "Paris-Est".

This summer, before its next big exhibition of an in-situ work by Gabriele Basch, café au lit is taking a suggestion from painter Stéphane Belzère, whose work was previously featured in an exhibition at the original café au lit. Recently, in the process of creating several large canvases, Belzère produced small acetate cutouts – silhouettes of people and other figures in his formal vocabulary. In separating the figures from the surface of the image and exhibiting them "naked" within the four walls of the apartment, they have been given a new autonomy and intimacy. A perfect reflection of café au lit's small exhibition space. Belzères figures will populate the walls of the apartment and keep our guests company until September 13th.
The opening reception will take place in tandem with the gallery opening "En Voyage" at Le Plateau as part of the cooperation "Paris-Est".

Round table between artist Stéphane Belzère, art critic Jens Emil Sennewald and historian Andrea Weisbrod. Many lodgers of café au lit enjoyed the works of Swiss artist Corina Bezzola. This evening offers a last chance to the public to visit the prolonged exhibition Räume / espaces / spaces and to participate in a round table, which is based on Brian O‘Dohertys Inside the White Cube and questions the possibilitys of exhibiting contemporary art today. The discussion is part of a common opening of important art venues in the East of Paris.

"I have to tell you that we did appreciate the stay very very much!!!!" – that's only one of many people's reactions who lived together with Corina Bezzola's exhibition by renting café au lit. Now you have one last chance to visit the exhibition and find out by yourself how amazing Bezzola's artworks are. The Swiss artist's work is performance-based: armed with adhesive tape, Bezzola explores private homes and artists' studios, isolating individual and normally overlooked characteristics of the space. Her photographs are both a documentation of her explorations and a reconstruction of the physical spaces she explores.

Many travelers made the experience living with contemporary artwork by renting the apartment for a weekend or a week. Now all the people who did not seize the opportunity renting the apartment until now or were not able to participate at the vernissage may visit Lempert's exhibition one last time. A good occasion to follow Jochen Lempert on his photographical trip between abstraction and documentation, close and distant. You are cordially invited to a sunday's brunch between 11 am and 6 pm.

Around 200 visitors stopped by during the grand opening of café au lit to acquaint themselves with the newest venue for contemporary art in the Mouzaïa district of Paris. The overwhelming positive feedback to the realization of Didier Faustino's architectural project and Jochem Lempert's photographs gave us a lot of enthusiasm for our ongoing work. In addition to renting café au lit, we will also devote ourselves to planning several micro-events (discussion evenings, performances, presentations, etc ...) which will take place in the apartment.
