PASCALE MARTHINE TAYOU, PETITS RIENS

Collection Lambert - Avignon

From July 2023, the Collection Lambert will devote the entire two floors of the Hôtel de Montfaucon to the Cameroonian artist Pascale Marthine Tayou. A close friend of the Avignon institution for nearly 10 years, he participated in the major exhibition in the former Sainte-Anne prison, "La disparition des lucioles" (2014), where his crystal dolls and genies imbued the former prisoners' cells with their poetic presence.

Today, he is deploying a new project at the Collection Lambert in which no less than ten new monumental works are being produced, and four existing ones are being redesigned for the spaces that will host them. In total, 23 installations will be installed in the museum's rooms.

Entitled "Petits riens", the exhibition is presented as a sensitive crossing of the "chaos-world" to use Edouard Glissant's formula. Each installation becomes the pretext for an open conversation through which our deepest convictions are undone; through which as many situations are invented so that new ways of seeing the world are born.
