Lou Mas­du­raud

Lou Mas­du­raud (*1990, lives in Geneva) uses sculp­tural works and inter­ven­tions in the struc­ture of spaces to create a com­pre­hen­sive instal­la­tion. Forms bor­rowed from the func­tional archi­tec­ture of public spaces are com­bined with orna­men­tal and organic ele­ments. The artist makes ref­er­ence to the his­tory of the build­ing, which was once used for trade, gov­ern­ment and admin­is­tra­tion in the town of Lan­gen­thal. She inter­rupts the usual exhi­bi­tion tour, closes off cer­tain rooms and opens up new per­spec­tives and break­throughs. She sees these as holes in real­ity, as sym­bolic doors to places of refuge that are pro­tected from view and attribution.
