Born in Italy in 1968, but a resident of Paris since 1995, Tatiana Trouvé is known for her large-scale installations and graphic work. Now, the most important contemporary art centre in the city where she lives is presenting a large-scale exhibition, with works -usually drawings- hanging from the museum's ceiling, three-dimensionally organising the exhibition space.
According to the museum, “this exhibition space is structured and recomposed by drawing, which has been at the heart of the artist's work since she first began. Whether hanging on the walls or suspended from the ceiling, all of these drawings in a variety of presentations, including some large formats specially created for the exhibition, maintain a dialogue with the sculptures, but also with the floor, which the artist has entirely recreated, thus constituting a visual layout that produces an experience of disorientation.”
Among the works included in the exhibition is "From March to May", a series of fifty-six drawings created by Trouvé during the confinement of the first half of 2020. A catalogue, designed in collaboration with the artist, will also be published on the occasion of the exhibition, and includes 365 drawings dating from 1992 to the present, as well as texts by Jean-Pierre Criqui, curator of the exhibition, and Laura Hoptman, director of the New York Drawing Center.
"The Great Atlas of Disorientation" is not the only exhibition dedicated to Tatiana Trouvé to be presented in Paris. Also on 8 June, the Gagosian Gallery presents an exhibition on the artist at its Rue de Castiglione venue, which will run until 3 September.
