Organized with Olivier Renaud-Clément, Hauser & Wirth Invite(s) is a recent initiative to host fellow artists, galleries and writers at our gallery spaces, offering wider visibility of their work and ideas and to engage with Paris’ vibrant creative community.

This initiative reflects Hauser & Wirth’s longstanding commitment to building a sense of connection in the places where it works, collaborating with artists (or estates) who may benefit from an additional platform, galleries of different scale and writers addressing new audiences, all in support of a sustainable art ecosystem. By hosting fellow artists, galleries and writers, we offer wider visibility of their work and ideas to engage with each city’s vibrant creative community.

The exhibition is on view through Saturday 20 December.
Join us for the opening reception on Thursday 27 November.

About Violette d’Urso
Violette d’Urso is a French-Italian writer born in Paris in 1999, currently based in New York. Her debut novel, Même le bruit de la nuit a changé, was published by Flammarion in March 2023 and translated into Italian by Mondadori the following year. The novel follows a young narrator investigating the life of her father, who disappeared when she was a child. Armed with an old address book, she retraces his steps, beginning in Naples, his hometown. Through fragments of stories she gathers, objects she collects, and what she learns about the cities she passes through, she pieces together a portrait of a man she never knew.

Violette d’Urso studied medieval history at the CPES at Université PSL and is currently pursuing her studies at the Gallatin School of Individualized Study at New York University.
