The linear echo / Thierry Davila -- Tatiana Trouvé: The latent spaces / Françoise Ninghetto -- Tatiana Trouvé at MAMCO
Summary:
The MAMCO has in its collection a significant number of works by Tatiana Trouvé, an artist who appeared on the contemporary art scene towards the end of the 1990s. First, there is Prepared Space, two versions of which exist (2014 and 2020): a room covered entirely in white wood panels, in which the artist has inscribed into its walls and flooring a sort of three-dimensional navigation map. As we walk along the lines of a vast, spatialized drawing, our experience is one of disorientation and, at the same time, a connection with linearity. The MAMCO's collection includes also a set of copies of drawings--350 items displayed in a "module" designed for this purpose by the artist. It is an imposing ensemble that reveals the work's laboratory, its active heart, and its regulating agency. There is, finally, a second module devoted to the artist's correspondence. These discrete moments in Tatiana Trouvé's work are studied here in detail with essays by Françoise Ninghetto and Theirry Davila. The artist's graphic world is seen as a key part of an artistic endeavor carried out under the seal of solitude and the administrative exploration of memory. -- Page 4 of cover.
