Baghramian’s friendship with the late designer Janette Laverrière (1909 — 2011) lays the groundwork for Entre Deux Actes — Ménage à Quatre. In the decade before Laverrière’s passing, she and Baghramian explored the designer’s archives to imagine new variations and reinterpretations. Laverrière’s 1947 design of a green room titled Entre Deux Actes — Loge de Comédienne, which critics of the time deemed too “feminine,” was Baghramian’s starting point for a new installation titled Entre Deux Actes II —Loge des Comédiennes, conceived in 2009 in close collaboration with the designer. That installation engaged the gendered assumptions built into architecture and interior design, and playfully unwound the opposition of design and art: one meant to be functional, the other supposedly autonomous.
