Transmission(s) - first chapter
Solo Show by Laurie Charles
December 9, 2013 - January 24, 2014, public opening on December 6, 2013, from 6:30PM
Courtyard of the City Hall of the 11th arrondissement of Paris, 12 Square Léon Blum, 75011 Paris.
Off-site exhibition, as part of the Transmission(s) program, initiated by the City Hall of the 11th arrondissement of Paris, offering a cycle of three exhibitions each year, along with art history courses and writing workshops.
Triangle France is invited by Mairie du 11e arrondissement de Paris to organize a series of three solo exhibitions within the framework of the program entitled Transmission(s). For the occasion Triangle France asked three young artists from France and abroad to take over the city hall’s yard. One after another they will make site-specific productions questioning the place and its history.
Laurie Charles, Triangle France resident in 2012, will be the one to kick off the 2013-2014 Transmission(s) program. She will be followed by Guillaume Gattier and Nicolas Momein.
Laurie Charles was born in 1987, Brussels (BE). She lives and works in Brussels and Paris (FR).
To Laurie Charles every object is an opportunity to lead an in-depth research in which she puts together different elements into a fictional narrative. The work is the outcome of the narrative.
Lying on historical events, popular references or her own history of the place, she unveils « ghosts » that become the protagonists of her work. From a project to another those resurgences get connected to one another in order to form a cosmography in which she is the keystone.
Recent exhibitions: Year 2012, Komplot, Brussels (BE) ; Romantic Duo, Friche la Belle de Mai, Marseilles (FR) ; Trompe le Monde, Ecole supérieure des Beaux Arts des Bordeaux (FR) ; La Force de l’Art (projet parasite d’Olivier Bardin), Grand Palais, Paris (FR).
Laurie Charles received support from the association Demain en main for this exhibition.
