Features ‘Pour accompagner les Eautobiographies enfantines de Claire Tabouret’, a text by Hélène Cixous.

With this exhibition, Claire Tabouret (born in 1981 in Pertuis, France) has created a powerful and unexpected dialogue with a number of vernacular devotional objects drawn from archaeological and liturgical collections in Italy, invoking an ambivalent threshold in Tabouret’s practice, a portal into multiple temporalities and subjectivities through which to consider alternative relationships amongst human beings, and between human beings and their environment, in the face of ecological and social crises and in communication with the supernatural.

This catalog is published on the occasion of the exhibition Claire Tabouret – I am spacious, singing flesh curated by Kathryn Weir, at Palazzo Cavanis, Venice, from 23 April to 27 November, 2022, collateral Event of the 59th international art exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia.
