We are pleased to present the exhibition “Mémoire(s)”, from November 22 to December 29, 2023, as part of the “Carré des Arts” event, organized by Carré Rive Gauche, during FAB Paris “Fine Arts Biennale” at the ephemeral Grand Palais.

We offer you an exploration of memory, memories, illustrated by the works of contemporary artists: Eleanor Lakelin – sculptor (English born in 1965-), Alexandra Laroche – painter (French, born in 1963-), Lætitia Disone-Lachmann – visual artist (French born in 1965-) and Aude Herlédan – painter and sculptor (French, born in Paris in 1966-).

Encounters are at the center of this exhibition. These four women artists share their experiences, paying tribute to the importance of human relationships in artistic creation. Each work tells a unique story, woven with the threads of memories, conversations, connections and travels…

The “Memory(s)” exhibition also explores memory in a philosophical sense, delving into deep questions about identity, time, forgetting and permanence. The 4 artists challenge the boundaries between the past, present and future, creating works that transcend time and space, central themes of the work of Eleanor Lakelin whose sculptures were made in a hundred-year-old redwood or Aude Herlédan's painting “Memory II” inspired by the Rift Valley that she traveled when she was a young artist on mission for the UN in Kenya (gold leaf, lava powder, natural inks, etc.); the works of Alexandra Laroche, painter of emotions, which she translates into mise en abyme in subtle colors where the notion of time disappears; or Lætitia Disone-Lachmann who, in a quest for the essential, spontaneously expresses an infinity of possibilities.
