Immersed in Cirva's studio as well as in her own, Jennifer Caubet was able to experience the many variations of the glass material through dialogue with the art center's team of glass technicians. The sculptural projects she has developed at Cirva question various recurring notions in her work as an artist: how sculpture negotiates the relations to spaces and territories using scale measurements and the interaction with the human body; how gesture and movement determine shape; and where the boundaries between sculpture and landscape lie. Designed as a journey through the gestation stages of her work, the notebooks function as a score, offering, in all transparency, a reading of her preparatory drawings, annotations, studio gestures, and up until her finished works.
Jennifer Caubet (born 1982 in Tonneins, France) graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2008 after also studying in Toulouse, Barcelona and Tokyo. Thanks to singular productions with specialists, engineers, architects and companies, Jennifer Caubet begins a work of reflection on, in and around space, through sculpture, installation and drawing. The forms and lines that Jennifer Caubet deploys, reenacts or poses in the spaces she crosses, inaugurate the place of the work and the exhibition as territories of relationships not only constructed but to be constructed.
