The product of an ambitious partnership with the Musée des Arts et Métiers, the exhibition Eppur si muove (And yet it turns) focuses on the many links that exist between the fields of the visual arts and technology, as well as the decisive influence that the history of the sciences and technology has exercised on contemporary artists.
Artists don't always create monumental and spectacular works that only the happy few can possess. Some also produce unique pieces or small series that you can take home with you...and even on you! These are pieces one is proud to display on a pretty tanned décolletage, a lapel or elegant hand. As you have already understood, these masterpieces are jewellery.

We meet the artist at her studio in Ivry. It's a large rectangular room bordered on one side by a series of wide bay windows that allow the light to stream in. The countryside spread out before her eyes is vast, cloudless and wide, punctuated by railroads that create a geometric pattern. A little suburban train passes by regularly, and though it is not heard, it marks time in its own way.
A small path of teak slabs runs through the bright green spring grass, linking living space to workspace. Françoise Pétrovitch built her studio in the garden of her millstone house just outside Paris, in the garage space. It's a large, all-white building in the shape of a rhomboid, with a very high ceiling, and beautiful bay windows that fill the entire space with light. The drawings she's currently finishing hang on the walls.
