Anne Tronche's Monograph on Laura Lamiel Explores Enigmatic Installations

Anne Tronche, an art critic, has released a monograph on the French artist Laura Lamiel, entitled "La pensée du chat" (The Thought of the Cat), published by Actes Sud and the Crestet Centre d'art. The title alludes to a rural tradition that involves sealing a live cat within a house. Lamiel's artwork consists of four enameled steel panels that create an enclosed space. Tronche delves into the duality present in Lamiel's installations, juxtaposing enameled steel with repurposed materials. She places Lamiel's creations in the context of Donald Judd's Minimalism, highlighting her technique of using silkscreen to transfer photographs onto steel. Anne Dagbert reviewed the monograph in artpress.
