Untitled: Gully in the Mountains as part of The Sowers @fondationthalie • The exhibition #thesowers presents 25 artists and takes the form of a dialogue between clay and thread. These two elements become a space of cross-pollination for rituals, crafts and the aesthetics of survival as well as the dimension of recycling in order to highlight—through materials and usage—plural forms, all imprinted with a universal ecological consciousness. • curated by Anissa Touati and Nathalie Guiot • Artists: Sylvie Auvray (France), Niyaz Azadikhah (Iran), Léna Babinet (France), Belinda Blignaut (South Africa), Pauline Bonnet (France), Paloma Bosquê (Brazil), Sol Calero (Venezuela), Gabriel Chaile (Argentina), Jasmine Little (United States), Pauline-Rose Dumas (France), Julian Farade (France), Angèle Guerre (France), Alexander Marinus (Belgium, in collaboration with MAD Brussels), Hana Miletić (Croatia), Desire Moheb-Zandi (Germany), Julie Monot (Switzerland), Elise Peroi (France), Jacqueline Surdell (United States), Anila Rubiku (Italy), Lei Saito (Japan), Livia Spinga (France), Raphaël Tiberghien (France), Lucille Uhlrich (France), Héctor Zamora (Mexico), Fatiha Zemmouri (Morocco) • A gully is a landform created by running water, eroding sharply into soil, typically on a hillside. The composition of this work, specifically, is based on a collage technique combining topographical illustrations of places where water has eroded land in the continental US. The work seeks to think through the patient and flexible power of water as a model for human interaction with the same land. A thoughtful give and take. Like the power of water to erode over an extended period of time, my process embraces small movements, layers, and wrapping to create form. It is through patient accretion — tiny moments and movements building up over time — that the works come to fruition. (at Fondation Thalie) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUdXLXrFV4W/?utm_medium=tumblr
