Presentation

“Corine Borgnet deploys over time a work that is built in its singularity. Challenging constraints, both technical and aesthetic, she lets herself be guided by her personal mythologies and finds the most appropriate medium to let them unfold. Post-it notes, resin, chicken bones, butterflies, salvaged objects, wax, charcoal, painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, video… whatever the material, whatever the way… The idea takes precedence, then comes the making and the know-how. She is interested in the world of work, (over a period that spans between 2002 and 2012) the repetitiveness of tasks, management that dehumanizes the employee, or the urgency of the pace in which workers are maintained to introduce , through art, of thought in the business world. At the same time, the world of childhood, or rather the end of childhood, attracts and fascinates her (she returns to it from 2005 to 2015) through drawing or sculpture showing hybrid and ambiguous beings who can disturb as much as they attract. The cabinet of curiosities, vanity, sex, love and death, are all serious and immutable themes that recur in her work and which she treats with a humor not devoid of seriousness, or to put it another way that she expresses with a half-naughty, half-squeaky smile. Since 2015, it revolves around the bourgeoisie. The artist probes it, observes it, scrutinizes it. This is what brings him to the particle… This famous noble preposition which generally indicates the family's belonging to the nobility. However, contrary to popular belief, the particle cannot be taken as a mark of nobility (any more than its absence prevents one from being noble) and yet - great virtue of a preposition - this small fragment is often considered as the constituent element of the nobility itself. Not having any in her surname, but descending from a socially downgraded family, Corine Borgnet takes an amused and iconoclastic look at these social and worldly rules, ignores conventions and shatters taboos. »Isabelle de Maison Rouge
