The exhibition In the Making highlights the work of three contemporary artists whose practices are distinct but connected by a shared desire to explore creation as a process, a constant quest for transformation and renewal.
Ece Bal, Louisa Marajo and Célia Muller, each with a unique vision, invite us to reflect on how history is constructed over time, at the crossroads of memory, identity and experimentation.
ECE BAL
Ece Bal's approach lies at the crossroads of drawing and sculpture, where she questions the boundaries between body and space. Her works unfold like organic extensions, hybrid forms that come to life in dialogue with their environment. She is interested in the notion of transformation, in those suspended moments when matter seems to hesitate between two
states. Each of Bal's works is a fragment in the making, a meditation on impermanence and perpetual motion.
LOUISA MARAJO
Louisa Marajo experiments with drawing or painting by articulating it around and with the photography of her own paintings. Her works are like scaffolding, mobile and reusable. Everything is in motion. Her installations plunge us into a labyrinth where painting transforms and blends with photography, venturing towards sculpture in a staging that is at once chaotic and orderly. Drawing adds a new corporeal space to her imagination. It's a quest in which the artist questions his own history in order to analyze a world that's falling apart.
CÉLIA MULLER
Célia Muller explores notions of memory and temporality through immersive installations that question our relationship with the past and the future. Her works create spaces where time seems frozen, inviting the viewer to contemplate the strata of history and the traces left by human action. The artist plays with the idea of the archive, not as a vestige of the past, but as a living material in perpetual reinvention.
In this first chapter, In the Making takes a deep look at creation as a living, dynamic process.
Each work presented is a snapshot of a transformation, an exploration of history in the making.
