Presented at JKG Vaugirard from April 5 to May 17 [extended to July 26], the exhibition No More Bets revolves around Rio Buenaventura (2019?2025), the latest project by Stéphanie Solinas (b. 1978 in France, lives in Paris): a game table inviting all to a race against time toward immortality. While No More Bets can be visited, the exhibition is above all meant to be played (*).
At the crossroads of a game of goose, Monopoly, tarot, and roulette, Rio Buenaventura is the playable form of the book Self Plus. Itinerary for Becoming Oneself (Seuil / Fiction & Cie, 2023), the result of a five-year investigation carried out by Solinas through the American West. Rio Buenaventura is a work activated through its gameplay mechanics and designed for 5 to 7 player-travelers, with sessions led during the exhibition by Stéphanie Solinas. Each session lasts 122 minutes, unless a participant reaches immortality before time runs out.
In parallel with No More Bets at JKG Vaugirard, Solinas also presents Horizon at JKG Odéon from April 5 to May 17.
