Damien Mazières and Pierre Labat at Bordeaux Galleries
In Bordeaux, two exhibitions showcase the works of Damien Mazières and Pierre Labat. Mazières's installation, titled Plateforme, is on display at Galerie Cortex Athletico from May 27 to July 5, 2010, and features collaboration with musician Philippe Cam. This piece incorporates painted metal cladding, neon lines, nine ink canvases inscribed with 'fire,' metallic pallets, neon lighting, speakers, and a video from the Heroes series. Critic Didier Arnaudet notes its ambient quality, which transcends its materials. Meanwhile, Labat's exhibition at Galerie ACDC runs from May 18 to June 26, 2010, and explores architectural themes through a wooden plank structure, highlighting the balance and tension between reading and writing.
