Marion Baruch: une rétrospective
16th December 2020 - 30th May 2021

Marion Baruch gives pride of place to her function-free fabrics. Chosen for their colors and materials, the artist hangs and stretches them with a reflection on ecology and over-consumption linked to the world of fashion as a backdrop. The exhibition starts from the 60's until the 89's and the questioning of the artist as a brand.
The first contact with the fabric of Marion Baruch (born in 1929 in Timisoara, Romania) dates back to the 1970s. She sewed a black fabric into a geometric shape that she later took on in the streets of Milan. In a context of debate on the liberation of the body, particularly that of the women, wearing this cover-up dress that covers her completely, marks the beginning of her reflection on movement, body, face, identity, oneself. By taking hold of fabric and fashion, an economic world often reserved for men, Marion Baruch questions the links between the creative industry and art.
Today, in an ecological reflection and a debate on over-consumption, the artist collects in the streets of Le Sentier in Paris and in Italy, the remains of fashion factories' workshops. The defects of the fabrics, unusable scraps for the industry, become their strength. It is now their colors and their materials alone, out of any function, that make a new work possible. The artist touches and cuts them, and above all stretches and lets them hang, fill the void or draw it as if, paradoxically, all space could now be contained and revealed by these emaciated forms.
This proposal fits in with the season on fabric at Les Abattoirs.
In partnership with the Kunstmuseum Luzern.
With the support of the AG2R LA MONDIALE Corporate Foundation for Artistic Vitality.

Fondée en 2016 à Paris dans le Marais, la galerie Anne-Sarah Bénichou représente des artistes de différentes générations, français et étrangers, émergents et confirmés.
La grande diversité des pratiques et des origines de ces artistes contribue à promouvoir des individualités dotées d’un regard singulier sur le monde, et à instituer un dialogue entre différentes époques et formes d’art variées (peinture, photographie, sculpture, performance, installation et dessin).
Chaque exposition cherche à questionner la sensibilité du monde, et plus particulièrement la place et la forme que revêt l’art contemporain dans notre société. Ce faisant, la galerie s’affirme comme un lieu incontournable de la scène parisienne, poursuivant un unique but : s’engager pour la culture, les arts et les artistes.
La Galerie Anne-Sarah Bénichou poursuit également une activité d’édition en produisant régulièrement des catalogues et des ouvrages sur ses artistes. De nombreux universitaires, critiques et commissaires d’exposition participent à ces initiatives et offrent un aperçu détaillé du travail des artistes.
La galerie participe à de nombreuses foires en France et à l’étranger (Artissima, Independent, Paris Photo, Art Dubai, Art Genève, Paréidolie, Beirut Art Fair, etc.).
Artistes : Marion Baruch, Mireille Blanc, Julien Discrit, Chourouk Hriech, Yann Lacroix, Valerie Mréjen, Laurent Montaron, Decebal Scriba, Massinissa Selmani, Seton Smith, et Florin Stefan.
