À l’invitation de la Fonderie Darling, Steinman offre une méditation philosophique sur l’espace-monument de la Grande salle, sur ce volume immense – à la fois comble du luxe et comme une espèce en voie de disparition dans un quartier en transition accélérée vers un implacable embourgeoisement. Se gardant bien de prendre possession de l’espace et d’en occuper le centre, Steinman fait de son séjour temporaire dans la Grande salle l’occasion de tracer un périmètre et marquer les limites d’un territoire. Elle a ainsi, rigoureusement, fait le tour de l’espace en le ponctuant de traces lumineuses. Les visiteurs sont dès lors invités, non pas tant à tourner autour des œuvres qu’à arpenter le vide, à se tenir au milieu et à « plonger au fond du rêve » selon la formule du poète e.e. cummings pour qui là réside la possibilité de nous situer dans le monde, de ne pas être submergés par la propagande et par les slogans.

At the invitation of the Darling Foundry, Steinman offers a philosophical meditation on the monument-space of the Main Hall, whose volume embodies both the height of luxury and a kind of endangered species, in a neighbourhood that is being quickly and inevitably gentrified. Careful not to take over the space and occupy its centre, Steinman uses her temporary stay in the Main Hall as an opportunity to draw a perimeter and demarcate a territory’s limits. With rigour, she has gone around the space, punctuating it with luminous traces. Visitors are not invited to circle the works, but rather to survey the emptiness, keep to the middle of the space, and in the words of e.e. cummings, “dive for dreams,” for this is how we might take our place in the world and not be toppled by slogans and propaganda.
