Following her participation in a number of group exhibitions at the gallery, Parker's Box is delighted to present Virginie Barre''s first solo show in New York.
The artist has made a name for herself in Europe with her installations, drawings and sculptures that conjure up an ambiguous universe at once accessible and familiar, while at the same time press-ganging the spectator into embarking on a journey into the unknown. Indeed, Virginie Barre' is a master of the kind of barefaced incongruity that imposes unquestionable logic in our dreams, and that we are at a loss to explain on waking, even though we may remain convinced of its reason. The artist uses this facility as an effective tool to soften her public to some of the more impenetrable truths that attract her, like those of adolescent fantasy or the science fictional adventures hidden in the outer reaches of youth culture.
