Description: Milano: Silvana, 2013. 20cm., pbk., 128pp., 50 illus. Exhibition held at Musée d'Art Moderne, Saint Etienne. English-French text. From the museum's website: For some twenty years, Laura Lamiel has been involved in a demanding research endeavour focused for a large part on the monochromatic power of white. Using painted or enamelled steel surfaces that create an access for light, she has put together a vocabulary that permits an original dialogue between planes and volumes. Using modules whose format varies between three standard dimensions, one of which is the activation of a personal measurement, over the years she has devised installations which constitute an exploration of three-dimensionality. The creation of units, partially closed spaces, usually comprising three panels, has enabled her to define the limits of a new space, an accommodating space. Containing other volumes, also white, which make up the artist's visual vocabulary, the units also accommodate discarded, used objects, organised on the basis of an internal logic that gambles on the cohabitation of extremes. Trolleys, rolled-up carpets, work gloves, seat frames, rolled-up rubber sheets become the protagonists in an optical balancing act that is confronted with the absolute white of the piles of bricks and screen-printed panels, fostering a mediation between the illusionist space of photography and the real space. For the graphic arts department of the Musée d’Art Moderne de Saint-Etienne Métropole, Laura Lamiel has chosen to put together an original presentation of the different aspects of her work. Alongside a unit and a series of screen-printed panels that have become the active memory of her earlier installations, she has grouped a large number of collages including photographs, drawings, graphic notes and plastic surfaces that partially conceal the images and play with superposing different planes. This way of treating the surface of the paper is not only an original way of rethinking the work done in the studio, but also of suggesting the mechanisms inherent in memory. Showing, hiding, displacing, partly concealing: so many supposedly contrasting data that instil an incessant movementinto Laura Lamiel's acts of creation.
