Exutoire is a queer critical spatial practice that investigates social, spatial, and material justice in and through architecture. We focus on the making of spaces, objects, and platforms (exhibitions, publications, courses) that bring forth underrepresented discourses.
Exutoire is self-critical, ultra-referential, collaborative; it is our own creative outlet and our way of challenging normativity and advocating for the common good. It was created in 2019 in Oslo by Paul-Antoine Lucas and Bùi Quý Sơn, both architects and researchers. We are currently based in Hanoi.
*Our self-definition is subject to change; this text is written in June 2025.
Together with Céline Zimmer, we are co-curators of the Luxembourg Pavilion, Excess! On the Overconsumption of Living Space, at the upcoming Venice Architecture Biennale 2027.
Graduates from the Royal Danish Academy, the Oslo School of Architecture and Design, and ENSA Paris-Malaquais, we are both currently pursuing a Practice Research PhD degree in Architecture at RMIT University (2025–).
(2022) Exutoire is a transdisciplinary critical spatial practice that looks to the intersection of art, architecture and activism to investigate social, material and spatial justice. Our practice finds its form in a research-by-design approach that focuses on the making of spaces, objects and social infrastructure, and the creation of knowledge platforms which bring forth underrepresented discourses and marginalized voices. Exutoire is self-critical, ultra-referential, queer, and seeks to transgress norms and their reproductive character, explore trans-normativity and advocate for the common good. Exutoire was created in 2019 by Paul-Antoine Lucas and Bùi Quý Sơn. We are currently based between Oslo, Paris and Hanoi.
(2020) Exutoire is an outlet for some of our silly thoughts and ideas. Our practice is ironic, ultra-referential, queer, cute, quirky, joyous, playful, and sometimes also a bit boring. But no matter what we do, we always try to learn something new, dig a little deeper, engage with subjects that we think matter, and hopefully participate in shaping a better world. Here, we welcome you into our universe by sharing bits and pieces of our work process and what we're up to at the moment. — Sơn & Paul-Antoine
