Loris Greaud

Two Venues, Paris

[I]. The artist has conceived an artistic project in two parts. At the Louvre, a ghostly and mysterious sculpture suffuses the empty space beneath the Pyramid, while resonating with one of the museum's iconic masterpieces. The second part of the installation, a work both monumental and performative in the Centre Pompidou's ground-floor Forum.

From June 19, 2013 to January 20, 2014, the Louvre presents one of the two components of [I], Loris Gréaud’s latest installation project. This work thus becomes the third site-specific installation by a contemporary artist—after Tony Cragg’s red wood sculpture Versus in 2011 and Wim Delvoye’s Gothic corkscrew-shaped Corten steel tower Suppo in 2012—at the central column supporting the entry platform of Ieoh Ming Pei’s famed pyramid, a space always intended by the architect for the display of a monumental sculpture, a work of art welcoming visitors to the museum. Louvre Pyramid

Loris Gréaud has conceived an artistic project in two parts. At the Louvre, a ghostly and mysterious sculpture suffuses the empty space beneath the Pyramid, while resonating with one of the museum’s iconic masterpieces. The sculpture is a reflection on the imaginary hold of statuary, its inception, its visceral presence, its unveiling. The second part of the installation, a work both monumental and performative, is on view from June 19 to July 15, 2013 in the Centre Pompidou’s ground-floor Forum.

Loris Gréaud’s two-part installation is titled [I], which suggests an elongation of the Louvre Pyramid while also bringing to mind the Centre Pompidou’s transparent tubes. Immediately connected with the first-person singular pronoun in English, i is also the imaginary unit in complex number theory. A unit that, in the way of an axiom, can serve as a solution for many equations using real data. At the Louvre, Loris Gréaud’s [I] captures the drawing out of the liminal moment between anticipation and unveiling. At the Centre Pompidou, the artist creates a new mode of narration, that of a solitary piece constantly renewing itself through the energy it pours forth.

Exhibition curator: Marie-Laure Bernadac, curator in charge and special advisor on contemporary Art, Musée du Louvre, assisted by Pauline Guelaud.
