Rebonds - Victoire Mangez

As part of her residency at the Musée Jean-Jacques Henner, Victoire Mangez wrote short texts based on works by Henner she selected from the museum; she then sent these texts to six artists so that they could reformulate them in their own way, without giving them the reference image. The exhibition thus offers an eclectic and singular rereading of Henner's universe, populated by characters from different horizons, natural dyes synthesizing the rainy atmosphere of a landscape, photographs of a walker on the lookout, an aqueous sculpture strangely soaked in hair, a playful mechanical painting, or irreverent stagings.. Filiation, echoes, variations, translation, passing on, correspondences, rebounding games of interpretation are all words that tell of this co-creative approach in tune with the place and its history, Henner's paintings and contemporary creation.

With works by Anouk Rabot, Aurélia Casse, Manon Jacob , Romain Moncet, Thibault Bouedjoro-Camus and Hamideh Harfi.

Victoire Mangez graduated from the Beaux-arts de Paris in 2021. Worn tiles, grotesque ornamentation and spectacular fountains are all points of departure that enable her to unfold a thought through games of rebounds and analogies. Victoire Mangez is the winner of the Prix Dauphine pour l'Art Contemporain (2023), and curated the "Eaux d'artifice" exhibition at the Palais des Beaux-arts, Paris (2021) and "Olifant", at the Château de Moyen, Lorraine (2017). She has also been working with Ulla von Brandenburg since 2021.
