Stories! is an exhibition by Laura Francese and Marius Buet, both currently in residence at the Fondation des Etats-Unis. Their paintings and drawings tell stories that sometimes take unexpected paths. These “stories”, which can be based on anecdotes or grand narratives, attempt to explore new forms of narration. Stories! is an insight into their research and discoveries and creative process.
