First monograph: an overview of Lamouroux's wide range of practices (installations, sculptures, works on paper, photos, videos...) and a retrospective of his large architectural installations conceived for the spaces of the Palais de Tokyo,
Mamco, Centre Prompidou, etc., with two essays (including an original work by
Marcelline Delbecq, comprising six texts specifically created for the book) and a conversation with the artist.
Born 1974, Vincent Lamouroux lives and works in Paris an New York. Space is simultaneously the medium, the
framework and the matrix for his
works, often site-specific creations
—“sculpture places” the artist calls them—
in which air itself can become a material in
its own right. These pieces are the visible
expression of his thinking about space while
also exploring the notion of instability. His
series of undulating floors, with their
multiple changes of level, is emblematic of
this approach.
The issues of movement and circulation are
central to his creations, whether these
involve sculpture in space or the
visitor in an environment. He draws liberally on
architectural references, but also on images
linked to the latest ideas in science-fiction,
town planning and technological research.
