"Who are you Peter ?"
Abstract
“Who are you Peter ?” is the opening question of this temporary exhibition which invites visitors to travel a country where childhood fantasy and creative dialogue inspired and galvanize.Peter Pan is the boy who refuses to grow up. He lives in childhood as you live the utopia without worrying about the impossible, limitations or human fate. Thirteen contemporary artists assist the Espace culturel Louis Vuitton to explore each aspect of the myth, outlining the overall profile of the troublemaker.
An exclusive iPad application has been developped to sensitize young people to contemporary art and artists interpretation. As a part of the contemporary art exhibition, theiPad application was intended for children ages 8 to 12. This application is designed to promote awareness of young audiences to the art of exhibition and transmission of artists voices. The theme of the exhibition – journey through childhood – is the frame of a treasure hunt for a period of time that takes place in the exhibition space with 8 iPads available free of charge.
Children can create a narrative and by grouping all of the proposals generated during a trip; the application builds a vision of the exhibition from the perspective of the young public. At the end of the individual tour, bringing all the iPads together makes one big image and an artistic vision of a new Peter Pan.
