On the occasion of Drawing Week in Paris, POUSH is officializing its collaboration with Galerie Joseph, a network of over 30 exhibition spaces in the Marais.

From March 24 to 30, 2026, POUSH presents duwoshows: artistic encounters designed as dialogues between two artists, sharing a common space where practices intersect and respond to one another.

For their collaborative installation, Anne Le Troter and Margot Pietri intersect their research around two physiological entry points: auditory dysfunction and insomnia. Together, they question the way medical protocols, measurement grids, tracking sheets, quantifications, do not merely evaluate the body, but ultimately manufacture both the symptom and the norm.

Inspired by the figure of Hieronymus Capivacci (a 16th-century physician), Anne Le Troter designs "sculptures to be bitten." By reactivating the principle of bone conduction of sound, she highlights the objectification of the body: auditory impairment appears not as a simple deficit, but as the result of an evaluation system that defines what must be perceived or corrected.

Margot Pietri focuses on the pathologization of insomnia. Through matrix-like drawings on metal, jesmonite, or paper, she materializes the "lack" of sleep using grids and columns, symbols of the medical institution. Her work reveals how our biological rhythms have been aligned with the demands of productivity, transforming the intermediate state of "half-sleep" into a disorder to be diagnosed.

Drawing becomes political: it is, in turn, a measurement grid, a normative score, and a surface of resistance. Between auditory evaluation and sleep control, Troubles mineurs offers a critical reading of contemporary regimes of biopolitics and the management of the living.

This project is part of the Duoshows exhibition, which brings together six duo presentations: Anne Le Troter & Margot Pietri, Io Burgard & Jennifer Caubet, Bryce Delplanque & Morgane Ely, Yosra Mojtahedi & Hamid Shams, Misha Gudwin & Ivan Volkov, and Simmon Ballagny & Paul Pinon.
