Publié à l'occasion de son exposition « Le grand atlas de la désorientation », le présent ouvrage reproduit l'intégralité des dessins de Tatiana Trouvé. En parallèle à ses sculptures et à ses installations, cet ensemble d'oeuvres, qui s'étend sur trois décennies, donne à voir un monde flottant où la figure humaine se signale par son absence mêlée aux traces de son passage : lieux incertains et intranquilles, scènes traversées par les effets de la mémoire et de l'oubli, travail en écho à celui du rêve et de l'inconscient. Dans un va-et-vient incessant entre intérieur et extérieur, la notion d'architecture tient ici un rôle fondamental.
"Trouvé's evident investment in tricks of the eye--and of the mind--paint her ... as a 21st-century surrealist" -Artforum.
MAMCO's collections include the complete set of Italian artist Tatiana Trouvé's (born 1968) archive of drawings, as well as a room, Prepared Space, painted blindingly white and transected by tiny thread-width gashes seemingly held open by pieces of bronze and wood wedged into the cuts, somewhat resembling the lines on an ancient map. The goal of this volume, which is based around these two bodies of work, is to highlight the importance of drawing in the artist's work--the way in which it structures both her vision and her sculpture. Each corpus is described in detail, but is also situated within Trouvé's oeuvre in a comprehensive way, thus opening up various possible readings of her work. This affordable introduction to Trouvé's oeuvre contains 30 color images of her work and commentary by MAMCO's curators.
