Sophie Calle, one of France's leading contemporary artists, creates a site-specific installation for Crossing the Line in a room of the luxurious Lowell Hotel, located on New York City's Upper East Side. The autobiographical work features an array of objects of particular significance to the artist, helping viewers to construct their own story of her life. "Invited to exhibit in a hotel… I have chosen to introduce, in the room assigned to me, several objects that hold a sentimental place in my life, and that I have used for my autobiographical narratives."—Sophie Calle This event is part of Fiction & Non-Fiction, one of Crossing the Line 2011's three curatorial program perspectives.
