Exposition : Le Vide en Main de Silvana MC Nulty
Le Vide en Main exhibition by Silvana Mc Nulty at 19 Crac.
Free admission
Le Vide en Main sums up Silvana Mc Nulty's artistic practice in a nutshell. She continuously creates hybrid, flexible and unstable entities based on the principles of assembling and diverting objects with or through textiles.
The hand is that of the artist, who moves about with her tools, her ball and her hook every day, working in the places she passes through with uninterrupted freedom.
The emptiness is that which appears in the knots of the stitches, the perforations of the objects and the gaps in the view of those who look to solve certain enigmas deliberately posed by the works. The works are constructed from the oxymorons and paradoxes that make up our world. Whether it's a subversive alliance of seemingly incompatible objects and materials, or a hesitant appropriation of space, they explore the areas of friction between rigidity and flexibility, interior and exterior, fragility and resistance, transparency and opacity, visible and invisible, or even, perhaps, useful and beautiful.
Silvana Mc Nulty trained as a jeweller before going on to study visual arts, and her work is based on a practice of hybridising mediums, objects and materials, induced by a certain cooperation or listening to the enigmatic voices of the latter. When the artist uses shells, protractors, spoons and paperclips in her sculptures, cooperation takes the form of misuse and subversion. She reveals other qualities and properties of things, "bringing them to life" by playing on the possibilities generated by the oblique strategies intrinsic to assemblages.
The repetition of form, gesture and choice of materials and objects generates assemblages that carry their own narrative, but which, when considered as a corpus, can be understood like the words that make up the lexicon of a foreign language. The works can then be unfolded or folded up, interweaving everyday materials, gestures and fragmented narratives that may deal with another space-time.
Silvana Mc Nulty (b. 1995) lives and works in Paris. She graduated from AFEDAP Bijouterie in Paris before continuing her studies at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie (Amsterdam) and the HEAR (Strasbourg). She has exhibited at In Extenso (Clermont-Ferrand), the Manufacture de Roubaix, the Creux de l'Enfer (Thiers), Treize (Paris), the Salon de Montrouge, Crédac (Ivry-sur-Seine) and Brey-et-maison-du-Bois for the Art en Chapelles Biennial (Jura). She is represented by the Florence Loewy gallery in Paris.
