Stéphanie Solinas & Jean-Kenta Gauthier in conversation, on 16 May 2024, as part of the artist's residency at the gallery, around Rio Buenaventura, from 29 March to 19 May 2024.

On a roulette table from the Golden Gate casino in Las Vegas, Stéphanie Solinas created Rio Buenaventura, a hybrid game whose name refers to a mythical river that the first maps of the American West situated from the Rocky Mountains to the bay of San Francisco, to go from adventures to stories through images, objects and words that she gathered from mystic Sedona to Silicon Valley.?
This game is conceived as the limited edition of her recently published book Self plus, Itinerary for Becoming Oneself, which explores the current invention of the augmented human on the US West Coast, between science and belief.
