SARA FAVRIAU (WINNER OF THE PRIX DÉCOUVERTE 2014 DES AMIS DU PALAIS DE TOKYO) - TO SUM UP, REPETITION DOES NOT DELIGHT IN SINGULAR REITERATION

PALAIS DE TOKYO

For her solo show at Palais de Tokyo, Sara Favriau (born in 1983, lives in Paris), is deploying 2,000 plain spruce cleats in the space of the Wilson gallery, which have been sculpted and assembled into an archipelago of five cabin-containers, linked by footbridges.

Sara Favriau is inviting several artists to exhibit as part of her installation.  « Collaboration is not just about connecting individuals, it means getting them to work together, and opening up a conversation. Hence my decision to play the diversity card, to check out other creative fields and make them frequent each other."

The overall piece dialogues via transparency with the works it receives, most of which are new. And yet these cabins are impractical, built just below the human scale, forming a closed circuit, inciting the public to explore her work via mental projection.
