Description

For the past twenty years Diane Landry has been building up an unusual artistic language which she puts together by appropriating pre-existing objects. The artistic experience awaiting us in Landry's oeuvre is meant to topple ordinary life over into a parallel enchanted world, to transform the objects linked to that life into truley poetic forces. Her works overturn the common meaning of the objects she orchestrates, creating lapses in their usual connotations, opening breaches in the reality of daily life. The exhibition takes us into a magical version of the everyday.Foreword by Gaëtane Verna and David Aurandt.
