Studio Adrien Gardère

The Museum of Street Culture, in association with the Mary Ellen Mark Foundation, commissioned Studio Adrien Gardère to work on the artistic direction and the scenography of a yearlong exhibition, featuring 30 years of Marks' photographs of Erin Blackwell Charles, a.k.a. Tiny. Mark started photographing Tiny in 1983 while she was working on an article on runaway kids for Life Magazine; Mark kept documenting Tiny's life on and off the street until 2014.

The exhibition invests all the façades of Encore Park and spaces of the Stewpot and the Church. Organized in four phases tracing different periods of Tiny's life between 1983 and 2014, the curating and design principles are based on the successive addition of photographs and texts on the facades and walls of the realm.
