Louise Hervé & Chloé Maillet

Born in 1981, live and work in Paris

Taking the form of performances, installations or films, the work of Louise Hervé and Chloé Maillet draws on their university backgrounds. Graduates, respectively, in art and medieval history, ever since they began working together in 2001 under the moniker I.I.I.I. (International Institute for Important Items) they have been devised offbeat, captivating stories that mix erudition and wackiness.

For the Printemps de septembre they have come up with a new performance, a kind of fictional guided tour to the collections at the Musée des Augustins.
