The Screen Pledge is a projection system created by the artist Pierre Leguillon in 2007. The shows are devoted to the peripheral aspects of cinema : credits, poster, recurrent pattern, etc. They also propose to look towards the screen from another medium : poesy, painting, drawing…

First opened in Paris in 2007, the Screen Pledge went on to visit Marseilles, Saint-Nazaire, Toulouse, Lyon, Brussels, Geneva, Rome, Vienna and Philadelphia… Between 2008 and 2010 and with the help of Château Chasse-Speen, a « franchise » was opened at the CAPC, Museum of Modern Art in Bordeaux.

« The Counter Pledge » was especially conceived with the Chasse-Spleen wine warehouses in mind. Made up of a dozen film excerpts, the counter structures the space within each scene. It also represents a symbolic and impassable dividing partition. But of course this boundary is soon overstepped when a fight breaks out in a Western saloon, when a female bar dancer jiggles in a film noir, or else when a couple in love meets up and kisses.

Born in 1969, Pierre Leguillon lives and works in Paris. He is represented by Motive Gallery in Amsterdam.
