    A com­po­nent of the Sophie La Rosière pro­ject will be staged and filmed at Villa Vassilieff on May 12th. A « Dîner de Têtes » gath­ering French par­tic­i­pants and col­lab­o­ra­tors to date will give shape to an his­tor­ical and artistic dis­cus­sion while cel­e­brating the impor­tance of social rela­tions in the devel­op­ment of the pro­ject. The con­ver­sa­tions will serve as a part for Iris Häussler’s video instal­la­tion in her upcoming shows of Sophie La Rosière in Toronto.
