« Cancer de la gorge 2 »
Fabienne Audéoud & Anne-Lise Coste
opening June 5
show runs until June 28
Anne-Lise Coste studied in Marseille and in Zurich, after which she was based in New York, and now lives and works in Paris. Her drawings and texts have the immediacy of graffiti, and allow her to express subjective moods mixed with political criticism and literary sentences. With a dada-influenced language and intensely lyrical images, her work exudes irony, rebellion and emotion. She creates seemingly decorative compositions that actually offer us a catalogue of contemporary anxieties, where the immediacy of the gesture of drawing combines a strong poetic sense with an element of social critique.
Fabienne Audéoud lives and works in Paris after a dozen years in London and a two-year residency at the Jan van Eyck Academy in Maastricht.
It’s after an M.A. in fine art at Goldsmiths that her work, until then mostly musical, re-focused on visual art practices and developed in the 90’s British art scene.
Her body of work includes paintings, videos, a collection of perfumes, a jumper shop and music performances. It is focused on power relations, mostly within language and around gender and the politics of representation.
It has been widely shown in independent spaces as well as in major international institutions.
Rather than the illustration of a critical position or the demonstration of knowledge, she tries to find and/or create a space for intervention(s), where an action is possible, with what Robert Garnett describes as « the logic of the joke, a disruptive affect rather than an ironic commentary. »
