Edition of 75 + 20 APs
Signed and numbered on the front
The edition was released in conjunction with the exhibition I am spacious, singing flesh curated by Kathryn Weird and on view at Palazzo Cavanis in Venice from April 23 to November 27, 2022, a side event during the 59th Biennale di Venezia international art fair.
'I am spacious, singing flesh' presents a critical reading of the key dimensions of Claire Tabouret's work in a remarkable survey exhibition curated by Kathryn Weir. The show explores multiple transformations: of the self and other, of collective identities, struggle, release, and refuge. Creating a powerful and unexpected dialogue with a number of vernacular devotional objects drawn from archaeological and liturgical collections in Italy, the X works invoke an ambivalent threshold in Tabouret’s practice. In the context of ecological and social crises, Tabouret creates a portal into multiple temporalities and subjectivities where we can consider alternative relationships amongst ourselves, and between us and our environment.
This exhibition is presented by FABA (Fundación Almine y Bernard Ruiz-Picasso para el Arte) in collaboration with Almine Rech.
