Système D - Thierry Gehin

The association Acte de Naissance present the exhibition “Système D” by Thierry Géhin at L’H The Siege Galery in Valenciennes.

This exhibition allows the artist an opportunity to review his artistic process and production, past and present, and examine the evolution of his work over recent years.

The work of Thierry Géhin is defined in the expanded field of sculpture, and focuses on issues related to space, using accurate data. His projects often involve habitat structure, or the function and nature of an environment, and even the identity and experience of the people who use the space. The achievement  which is most often insitu can take the form of objects, sculptures, pictorial or architectural interventions, devices or installations but may also extend to video or photograph. Place and memory are a duality that is found in every creation of the artist and leads to a true reflection on the interrelationship of space and time. By mixing reality and fiction frequently, the artist creates disturbances, shifts in the relations that govern the various components of the works. When developed locally, they are an opportunity for a new experiment and a heightened perception of the place, which the viewer takes the full measure by walking.

The exhibition opens Friday, March 9th from 17 to 21.
