Klodin Erb : première exposition personnelle en France

Centre culturel suisse Paris

Exploring emotions, fantasies and the great questions that run through our lives, Klodin Erb presents her first solo exhibition in France. Nourished by art history, theatre, fashion and popular culture, her work interrogates our desires, our anxieties and our ways of inhabiting the world. Opening on 19.09.26 Opening at 4pm. Radio Nova invites the public to continue the evening on the CCS stage with two concerts. Free entry from 8pm + Le Grand Drame takes over the Centre culturel suisse like a stage where the tragic rubs shoulders with the burlesque, the sensitive mingles with the absurd, and its figures move within a universe that is at once theatrical, sensual and profoundly alive. Under the glass roof, Venusinfurs unfolds a series of monumental paintings bordered with textile carders. Inspired as much by representations of the birth of Vénus as by Roman baroque ceilings, these works, populated with floating, entwined or suspended bodies, compose a free and feminist reinterpretation of a long pictorial tradition. Points of view shift, scales become unsettled, and the figures seem carried along in a continuous movement. Created for the occasion of the exhibition, a new video work extends this universe. Half-human, half-animal beings wander through a series of missed encounters, fragmented memories and ghostly social gatherings. Through them, Klodin Erb pursues a reflection on memory, its distortions with advancing age, and the fictions we construct to give shape to our lives. With Le Grand Drame, painting - deeply coloristic and gestural, imbued with surrealist moments - becomes decor, stage and character all at once.
