TATIANA TROUVÉ
4 between 3 and 2
25 June - 29 September 2008

Established by the Adiaf (Association pour la Diffusion Internationale de l’Art Français) in partnership with the Centre Pompidou, the Prix Marcel Duchamp is intended to promote the international recognition of artists working in France.

The prize for 2007 has been awarded to Tatiana Trouvé, born in Cosenza (Italy) in 1968, who in recent years has made her mark with exhibitions in France’s leading contemporary art spaces (Double Bind, Palais de Tokyo, Paris, 2007, Aujourd'hui, hier, ou il y a longtemps..., CAPC, Bordeaux, 2004) and solo shows in London and New York, as well participating in group shows in France and abroad.

Trouvé’s exhibition at the Centre Pompidou redefines the geography of Espace 315 to produce an indeterminable space, putting perception into question through the play of scale and perspective. Corridors stretch to infinity, while the space is divided in the middle by a pierced black metal grille; on the walls are new drawings (from the “Remanence” series), black on black, in which forms drawn in graphite pencil or cut from sheet tin emerge and disappear with changes in the angle of view. Bronze sculptures seem to defy the laws of physics, a rope rises up to curve through the air... A whole new world in the interstices of the old.

The title of the exhibition, 4 BETWEEN 3 AND 2, refers to the idea presiding over the creation of this world, the search for an intermediate dimension, a fourth, temporal dimension, between the three dimensions of sculpture and the two dimensions of drawings – a temporality that finds physical expression in the time of the exhibition in a continuous fall of black sand across the walls of the principal space, suggesting the gradual disappearance of the exhibition itself, its obliteration in and by time.
