On the occasion of my solo exhibition at the Maison des Arts de Malakoff in 2009, I divided the lower floor into strange rooms, seven in total. By modifying the interior architecture, visitors entered through the emergency exit. Thus, the exhibition space became the artwork, hence its title “Home”. A radical change, since the visitor’s circulation flow was constricted to the intimacy of these rooms where they found themselves alone within the artwork. By the same token, it disturbed the relationship to the original space maintained by the regulars in the venue, notably thanks to various wall interventions (painted walls, wallpaper, room interiors visible only through a hole or a window...), thus removing the artworks from their usual white cube confinement. Door lets our imagination wander, make up stories and create different corridors linked to our state of mind.

Jeanne Susplugas
ARTIST
Paris, France
Bio
Committed, Jeanne Susplugas’ approach takes on all forms and all strategies of confinement. She pursues questioning the relationships between the individual and itself as well as with the others, while facing an obsessive and dysfunctional world. She explores different mediums - drawings, photographs, installations, sculp- ture, sounds, films - as many languages that enrich one to another to create a singular aesthetic, attractive in appearance, moreover quickly disturbing and creaky. A multifaceted, transversal work, very coherent and precise that places the viewer in front of contradictory sensations - troubled and reassured, worried and serene. Her work has been widely shown in France and abroad. Monographic exhibitions have been dedicated to her in places such as the Emily Harvey Foundation in NY, Maréchalerie Art center in Versailles, Musée du Sart Tillman in Liège, Centre d’art Le Lait in Albi, Magacin gallery in Belgrade, Ardénome in Avignon, Wyspa Institut of Art in Gdansk, CAB Art center in Grenoble, Piscine-Musée d’Art & d’Industrie in Roubaix, Château de Servières in Marseille, CAC in Istres, MOCCA-Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art in Toronto, Musée Fabre in Montpellier.
