After its triumphant success at ARC, Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, l’Hiver de l’amour exhibition, curated by Dike Blair, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Elein Fleiss, Bernard Joisten, and Olivier Zahm, arrived in New York at P.S.1 for its American debut, where, as a newly appointed exhibition coordinator I overviewed the installation of the show. The Winter of Love became a model for future exhibitions as it included artists from different artistic disciplines such as fashion, music, cinema, and architecture. It also featured one of the first performances by Vanessa Beecroft before she turned to professional models and high fashion apparel, an installation by Martin Margiela, and three NY rats (alive!) eating some Bel Paese cheese in a Plexiglass box by Maurizio Cattelan.
