Descriptif du happening dérivatif à l'attention de Michael Shamberg - curateur - en séjour à Baltimore. Paris, le 10 février 2011.
An fitting of 85 plaster hanged rabbits and one sitting on the table, a literal representation of the French expression “poser un lapin” was in Arnaud Lefebvre’s gallery.
…
Everyone was invited at Galerie Arnaud Lefebvre by Francine Flandrin. Arriving at the gallery, they saw a hunter and a rabbit, but no “Francine” around. A figurative sense of “poser un lapin”.
Purchasing the rabbit, the hunter…

After this paroxystic drama, spectators were invited to meet the person who had invited them,…courtesy David Théophile
… they received a map to join the place…
… where the artist welcomed them…
… by offering some rabbit terrine !!!
But ! If they arrived directly at
Ivana de Gavardie's gallery, you'll ask?
An other map indicated them the place to join, to
know why they were having rabbit terrine ?!!
Everyone really appreciated the terrine, or was it an irresistible attraction towards her golden jumbo lashes stuck on her star’s glasses ??? No one ever knew…
At the end of the opening, the artist joined the hunter who had had the skin of the rabbit.
ÉPILOGUE
We have noticed some “effets secondaires” after the ingestion of the terrine on Arnaud Lefebvre…
and on Ivana de Gavardie !
