Alberta Pane Gallery is pleased to present Luciana Lamothe’s fourth solo exhibition at the Paris venue.

« Luciana Lamothe’s new exhibition at the Alberta Pane Gallery seeks to take us out of the gallery space. Or perhaps it seeks precisely the opposite: to take us to the other side of the threshold.
The works in the exhibition can be seen as doors/portals communicating various places from inside the body to the public space. They evoke the space outside the body to re-inhabit it after two years of distancing, of avoiding kisses, hugs, and handshakes. To also avoid the clashing protests for the rights of our bodies and those of others, the confrontations with the police, the brutality of repression, the speed of the protesters running through the city, the door of a building that opens to become a hiding place, the red light that filters through the eyes closed by the hands that protect the head from the boots strikes… »

LUCIANA LAMOTHE
Crache! curated by Marie Frampier
The Argentinian artist questions the relations between bodies, architectures and materials in urban, domestic and institutional spaces. She destroys social ceremonies, paying attention to the smallest of our self preservation instincts. Through subversive thoughts and illicit actions, furnitures disassembly and sabotages filmed by a hand−held camera, her work − videos, sounds, installations, photographs and actions − put the public in the heart of her chaotic practice and her borderline position.
On the occasion of Crache! −her first solo show in France− Luciana Lamothe presents a site specific installation that will fill up all the Alberta Pane Gallery. Both the ground and the stairs will be covered by cement dust. A thin, diffused film, vulnerable to the feeblest wind blow, here becomes a little heap, there a compact and bulky pile. Reminding a lunar landscape, came out from the concrete mixer, the installation is minimal and poetic. The artist gets a new possession of this remainings of material and, thus, she invites us to participate to this transformation. Spit. Spit! But spit!! she seems to tell you. The dust could never become cement, unless someone humidifies it. An invitation like that, with his potential realization, changes the visitorÂ´s glance and his placement in the space.
Desfasaje (2011, 30″) is a sound piece in loop, whose metallic voice with her intrinsic echo, are excruciating. Placed in the gallery cellar, the track is audible in the exhibition spaces, but also from the street: the sound comes out from the ground of rue Saint Claude’s pavement.
The video Caja Tarro Silla Marco (2011, 6’52) is a sensual work, without a strict narrative purpose, filmed in the Argentinian countryside. There, the artist realizes some actions with mechanic means and industrial objects in a natural but also polluted environment. Various blurred landscape shootings, the instability of the hand−held camera and the continuous change of the point of view, generate a convulsive and rough rhythm.

Founded in 2008 in Paris by Alberta Pane and specialized in contemporary art, the gallery supports international artists, promoting the conceptual force of their projects.The gallery also encourages artists’ experimentation in space and urges them to work in balance with their environment. The interpretation and analysis of our time is the main purpose of their reflection.
With several exhibitions per year and international art fairs, the gallery has realized important projects in collaboration with museums, cultural institutions and international galleries.

In May 2017 the gallery opened its second venue in Venice, a former carpenter’s shop of 350m², transformed into an evocative exhibition space. In the same year, the gallery undertook an editorial venture: Edizioni Alberta Pane. This new series of publications reinforces the role of the gallery as promoter of the artistic activity, fostering the public fruition, and the relationship of the artists with institutions, collectors and editorial production.
