Geneviève Thibault, Intérieurs – Bernard Schütze
Ciel variable 132 - TABLEAUX | Exhibition reviews
Authors: Bernard Schütze | Artists: Geneviève Thibault
Presented at the Maison du notaire in Trois-Pistoles, Intérieurs was grounded in the principle of democratizing art, though through what Bernard Schütze describes as an “inversion of the gaze”: local residents were invited to propose objects they considered to have artistic value. The exhibition, the critic observes, “shifted the aesthetic question toward lived experience and the everyday.” The approximately sixty objects on display were accompanied by photographs by Geneviève Thibault, whose photographic intervention in participants’ homes echoed the exhibition’s emphasis on abundance and the absence of hierarchy.
