CAROLINE BOILEAU AND CHANTAL NEVEU: GUETTER PRATIQUER ANTICIPER TAILLER*
Drawing / Poetry / Performance
January 11th – March 10th, 2018
Opening – January 11th, 5:30 p.m.
Project Description
Engaging with Skol’s Horizon libre and Carte blanche, the artist Caroline Boileau has invited Chantal Neveu, a writer and interdisciplinary artist, to take over the space of the gallery with her – in their presences and in relation.
The exhibition, entitled guetter pratiquer anticiper tailler*, will include two parts. The first is a visual, architectual, and literary installation that will bring together a long mural poem and a series of drawings of different sizes. The second, performative component will be a set and laboratory where the two artists will experiment with presences, readings, and gestures as ways of putting notions of resonance, adjacency, and immersion into play: the proximity of and distance between bodies and words, drawings and bodies, and words and drawings.
*The title is taken from La vie radieuse by Chantal Neveu (La Peuplade, 2016).
