THE WORDS FROM ANNESOPHIE BÉRARD, OUR CURATOR :
To hope, to seek, to continue.
The work of French artist Laurent Lacotte, born in 1981 in Bergerac, regularly takes the form of ephemeral actions. This form, at once furtive, modest and public, allows the artist to convey a political as well as poetic message.
Perdue Espérance consists of a poster displayed on public walls, an active telephone line and a selection of responses received to this number (here presented in poster form). The other works presented (photographs in boxes) also summon certain elements of language in the presence of words painted in various places (urban, suburban or natural) crossed by the artist during what he calls his "drifts". This operating mode allows here and again to underline the poetic and political qualities of the criss-crossed places and to draw up a certain sensitive cartography of territories.
The Caring Gallery is committed to donating 10% of the sale of this work to the partner association of the exhibition.
