Opening on Saturday, October 11th
The Christophe Gaillard Gallery is pleased to present its third solo exhibition by Eric Baudart, in the main space of its Parisian gallery. To mark the occasion, the artist's first monograph will be published.
The exhibition Les circonstances sont neutres (Circumstances are neutral) begins like a journey across a landscape without fixed points of reference, where objects are more like thresholds than answers. Nothing here is designed to reassure us: each work is a nod to tension, to a movement, to a loophole where matter, time and an unlikely biology of art meet.
The artist’s work has always drawn inspiration from the question of space – not the abstract space of surveyors, but that which surrounds and besieges us: that fluctuating fabric in which our bodies live like fragile measurements. Time surfaces through slow decantation, in a patient process of accumulation, yet also with fleeting on-the-spot events that are almost seismic in nature. And that is where art emerges here: in that interval between slowness and speed, between neutrality and drama, between accident and self-evidence.
