Everchanging
Everchanging is a new installation by Paris-based artist François Daireaux.
As a direct development of his installation point infini at the Centre d’art Passerelle in Brest, France earlier this year he will be creating a labyrinthine structure using 2000 kilos of silicon rubber extruded over an area of 200 square metres.
Everchanging stems from a continually evolving process that leads to unexpected outcomes incorporating chance, manipulation and play. Past work has explored the dualities of decay and growth, repulsion and attraction and the life of the work is often transformed in response to specific exhibition sites.
His work makes frequent reference to natural processes of change, organic forms and landscape. His use and manipulation of materials often results in ambiguous and contradictory forms.
Everchanging presents intricate interlaced networks of extruded lines, suspended as architectural elements that both guide and confront the viewer in a passage through the gallery.
This will be his first major exhibition in the UK, although Daireaux has been exhibited internationally in Morocco, Italy, Bulgaria and Belgium amongst others.
