Musical Perforation
Elodie Lesourd
23 mars / 11 mai 2013
For her new exhibition at Galerie Olivier Robert, Elodie Lesourd unveils her abounding
artistic practice and rigorous renewal. A new installation, seven new paintings, a series of
drawings, Musical Perforation confronts us with extremes, contradictions and violence, skims their
surface with a clever caress. We must penetrate the skin, this authentic animal part, to reach the
very essence and create a form of ritual in the most ghostly automatisms. Animal hide is stretched
throughout the gallery making the space resonate, enacting new rules and revealing aesthetic
moments, paintings yielded as sacrifice.
Elodie Lesourd gives a musical perforation in the field of art.

The gallery is open from Tuesday to Saturday from 2pm to 7pm.
