The Chapuisat Brothers

LiFE - International Space for Emerging Arts, Saint-Nazaire

The Chapuisat Brothers' empirically constructed utopian projects operate on the frontier between sculpture and architecture, physically engaging with space. Their work often has an ambiguously attractive compartmental form that is at once a comfortable nest and a claustrophobic trap, a protective coating and an incitation to mobility and improvisation. The Chapuisat Brothers consistently explore the vocabulary of the ordinary DIY enthusiast: cardboard and builder's timber, batten, beams, and giant rough-cut trunks, putting it to brutal and frequently expansive use but without rejecting the rigours of geometry. Their installations behave as a revelation of landscape and a metamorphosis of the exhibition space. Curator: Sophie Legrandjacques, director of Le Grand Cafe'. Opening on june 14th, 8 pm.
