Jeanne Berbinau Aubry

Plastician

I’d like to develop an in-situ proposal, taking roots in the richness of possibilities offered by the variety of locally sourced materials. The idea would be to learn then divert Indian embroidery technics and aesthetic in order to realize an electric alimentation system composed of of numerous little light sources.

Jeanne Berbinau Aubry is developing an experimental work in sculpture and installation, in which the study of matter and its distortions plays a fundamental role. She graduated from the Villa Arson in Nice in 2015, and a year later she became a member of La Station, an artist-run space housed in the city of Nice's former abattoirs. At the same time, she has taken part in several residency programmes, including the Villa Medicis in Rome (2016), the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris (2019), and the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht. Since 2015, her artistic research has been supported by public and private institutions such as the Fondation Bernar Venet, the Université Côte d'Azur, the Fondation Fiminco and the Île-de-France Region. Her work has been presented at the Centre National d'Art Contemporain de la Villa Arson in Nice, the Friche de la Belle de Mai in Marseille, the Bubenberg Gallery and the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris, as well as in India, Italy and Belgium
