“Claire Tabouret: I am spacious, singing flesh” is a collateral event of the Venice Biennale 2022, supported by FABA (Fundación Almine y Bernard Ruiz-Picasso para el Arte) in collaboration with Almine Rech, presenting a new critical reading of key dimensions of the Los Angeles-based French artist’s work in an extraordinary survey exhibition curated by Kathryn Weir that explores multiple transformations: of self, other, collective identities, struggle, liberation, and refuge.
Through 25 works by Tabouret, the exhibition articulates various structures and fluidities existing within subjectivity and construct identities through paintings, sculpture, video, and works on paper.
A double and multiple condition of the Self is also explored in the exhibition in relation to fertility and motherhood, particularly through the inclusion of two Mothers of Capua, famous ex-voto sculptures carved in volcanic tuff during the period 500 – 200 BC, a magical presence that introduces a renewed material connection to the earth.
