Introduction
Pierre-Alexandre Rémy's work explores the relationship between artistic intervention and the space in which it takes place. His recent work is based on the cartographic representation of the specific territory where his sculptures are to be presented. Collecting, classifying and redistributing and integrating the data which define its identity, his sculptures question space, form and body. His steel or solution-dyed polymer ribbons seem to defy the laws of gravity; as their vibrantly colored arabesques unfurl, a new cartographic representation comes to light. The specificities of topography yield a drawing; a way of appropriating space through writing. Pierre-Alexandre Rémy's work generates hypertext for the territory, sketching a portrait made of complex folds that blends scientific and telluric approaches.
Pierre-Alexandre Rémy was born in 1978.
He lives and works at the Chapelle-Basse-Mer (FR).
Some of his works are today deposited or even permanently installed in several cities in France (Nantes, St-Florent-le-Vieil, Domaine de Kerguéhennec, etc…) and abroad (Ulsan, South Korea). They have also been exhibited by many arts centres and foundations (Chapelle des Calvairiennes, Fondation Salomon, Château de Saint-Ouen, etc.) as well as during festivals (notably the Hortillonnages d'Amiens in 2013 and the Voyage à Nantes in 2016). In 2014, his monumental sculpture "Echo au Chaos" was installed on the lawns of the Jardins de Plantes in Paris as part of the FIAC's Hors les murs programme. Recently, in 2019, the Musée de l'Abbaye Sainte-Croix (Sables d'Olonne, France) dedicated a major solo exhibition to his work.
Pierre-Alexandre Rémy is also a member of the collective Les Fondeurs de roue, whose rehabilitation of an old riding school into a touring and practicable exhibition space is still going on.
