Hosted on the third floor of Musée d'art contemporain de Lyon, Grace Ndiritu's The Blue Room is conceived as both an architectural space for the critical presentation of collections and a spiritual space for encounters, transformation and healing. Reminiscent of both modernist exhibition structures and the traditional design of African adobe houses, Grace Ndiritu's installation is an interdenominational and an intercultural environment.
The Blue Room features around one hundred prehistoric, Roman, Egyptian, medieval, modern and contemporary pieces drawn from the collections in various Lyon museums - the Musée du Louvre, the Lugdunum Musée et théâtres romains, macLYON, the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon, the Musée des Confluences, the Musée des Hospices Civils de Lyon and the Musée des Tissus et des Arts décoratifs de Lyon. The museum pieces resonate with Grace Ndiritu's own textile and video works.
