Galerie Paris-Beijing is pleased to announce its new exhibition Faire Corps curated by Camille Bardin, a young art critic who was recently laureate of the Prix AICA. The group show will be putting forth the selected works of ten artists.

Forget your well-rounded lessons, displace your gaze, and pull yourself free from the spaces you were assigned to. Beyond the strictly theoretical, Faire corps tries to identify the way our realities are socially constructed and draws new possibilities of existence. Through the works of ten artists, the exhibition attempts to identify the impact of gender stereotypes on the way we treat our bodies, the way we express ourselves, the way we move in space, the way we project ourselves in the future – in other words, the way we live. In each their own style, these works inspire us to free our bodies from binary theoretical structures that contribute to the minoritization of entire social groups.

The project Faire corps has been maturing in my mind for nearly two years now. Its ambition is not to describe the concept of deconstruction but to put forth artists who came along in my own questioning. Sometimes intimate, sometimes political – if it makes sense to even consider both notions separately – the featured works are an invitation to introspection, to empowerment and to the unraveling of minoritized bodies.
