In this publication you may find all the contributions: Flaubert's Castle

For Flaubert's Castle, we commissioned Odilon Pain to produce a painting. As he was mainly working with audio books as "models" for his paintings, we decided to introduce him to John Cage's Indeterminacy. The painting was hanged beside the sofa. Indeterminacy was also played repeatedly during the show, uttering Flaubert's Castle's soundtrack.
