Contemporary Art Installation with Textile Figures and Sculptural Rods

5 October 2017 · Paris

Tall black rods rise from a parquet gallery floor, each tipped with a textile figure or hanging form — soft, bodily, and strangely animate against the white wall behind them. Pinned prints and small paintings cluster at head height, extending the installation across two dimensions at once. The rods hold the figures up like specimens; the figures resist the classification. It's an installation that treats the gallery wall as a field rather than a frame.
