"Rappels en parallèle" – Cécile Bart

Exhibition from 13 May to 1st October 2023

The Bouvet Ladubay Contemporary Art Center presents, from May 13 to October 1st, "Rappels en parallèle" (Reminders in parallel), an exhibition that Cécile Bart has conceived as a journey in colour and movement.

Cécile Bart has designed an exhibition full of repeats and echoes, similarly to a garden with uneven plots, ranging from the vegetable patch to the tree stratum, and where certain plants would be found from place to place. A way of inhabiting a complex space, of taking the measure of its orientations, of going through it with its scansions and sequences.

A metaphor, perhaps, of her belonging and her perception of the world and nature.

The whole exhibition is made up of reminders, those in absentia, which summon up the memory of other works by the artist, and those in praesentia, which form a whole game of ricochets from room to room. More modest works, scattered here and there, reinforce these references: a Mini Farandole, Moods (pastels on paper, arranged on north-facing walls), and Films (paintings/collage or photographic posters, arranged on walls facing South). Memory.
