Carmen’s Time / exhibition agnès b
Time was at the heart of my exhibition “Carmen’s Time” shown at agnes b’s in Montpellier between april 8th – 14th may 2022. The show was initially programmed for april 2020 but was cancelled last minute due to Covid measures. Despite being a blow at the time, the delay became a positive momentum and allowed me to produce new fresh work to accompany the installation Carmen’s Time.
As with pretty all my solo shows, I invited James S.Taylor to create a sound installation to accompany the central installation based on recordings provided by Carmen. You can hear extracts of James’s piece in the short film made about the show by Vincent Jelinek below
Huge thanks to the team Alexandra, My-Linh & Laurent et agnes b’s in Montpellier, to agnes b herself, James. S. Taylor, Magali, KØEMNER aka Jules Bonallack, and of course Carmen herself x
