In an interview for Art Critique's series exploring artists' relationships with exhibitions, French artist Céline Le Guillou discusses her visit to Alina Szapocznikow's retrospective 'Le langage du corps' at the Musée de Grenoble. Le Guillou describes the chronological presentation of Szapocznikow's work, which explores the body through diverse materials and techniques, and shares her personal resonance with the artist's focus on malleable matter and corporeal transformation. She concludes that a successful exhibition inspires creation, reconfigures one's perception of reality, and offers a new way of being in the world. The article also notes Le Guillou's background, including her 2023 Art Norac prize win and upcoming 2026 residency at Usine Utopik.
