MAUDE BERNIER CHABOT: FEAST
Sculptures, photographies
February 20 – March 21, 2015
Project Description
Blurring the limits between the natural and the artificial, the approach of Maude Bernier Chabot creates a dialogue between organic and synthetic, traditional techniques and modern materials, that questions the temporality of the object and the practice of body modification. With sculptures that play on the frontier between the living and the non-living, Feast deepens the reflection on the natural in a postmodern context.
