NÎMES, CARRÉ D'ART
NAIRY BAGHRAMIAN
PARLOR
Over the past two decades, Nairy Baghramian has produced sculptures, works of photography and drawings that examine relationships between architecture, everyday objects and the human body. Her work addresses preconceived notions of functionality, decoration, abstraction, domesticity and feminism. For her first solo exhibition in a French
museum, Baghramian combines historical and recently created works. Arranged along a path, the rooms of Carr d’Art seem to have been scanned and measured to be analyzed for their specific architectural function and representative form. Works are installed in corners, serve to separate parts of the room, and make relatively peripheral rooms entirely inaccessible. Each of the eight showrooms remains distinct in the individual positioning of observer and object in view of spatial dynamics.
