Visite commentée de l’exposition The Blue One Comes in Black de Liz Magor par Claire Le Restif, co-commissaire de l’exposition.
Liz Magor (née en 1948, vit et travaille à Vancouver) tire ses idées des humains, de leurs comportements, leurs réactions et leurs croyances, particulièrement quand ils ont trait au monde matériel. Elle s’intéresse ainsi aux vies sociales et émotionnelles des objets ordinaires voire domestiques, affectionnant particulièrement les matériaux qui ont perdu le lustre de leur usage ou fonction d’antan. Les choisissant pour leur capacité à renfermer et à refléter les histoires, comme les identités personnelles et collectives, Liz Magor révèle une résonance dépassant leur simple fonction utilitaire par le biais de transformations et de déplacements.
Ses œuvres, qu’elle dit conçues, créées et polies par le jeu des contradictions, semblent reproduire les antagonismes qui tourmentent mais qui participent aussi à la vitalité de l’existence.
Elle réunit au Crédac un ensemble récent de sculptures et photographies qui permettent de mesurer l’étendue formelle de sa démarche, s’attachant à privilégier l’ombre de l’humain, pour cette exposition située dans une ancienne usine.
