Programme
Le sol et son dièse, Lina Jabbour
Lina Jabbour was born in Beirut in 1973. After initial works that reflected a highly politicised discourse on identity, she gradually evolved towards an aesthetic more marked by a dreamlike vocabulary. As if the question of the strange was slowly replacing that of the foreign. This exhibition is the fruit of a six-week artistic residency at the Montperrin Hospital laundry, followed by three months at 3 bis f, during which Lina Jabour observed and listened at various positions in the laundry. Gestures were put in place according to the rhythm of the workers and the machines, and Lina Jabbour's serial work of drawings and paintings drew on the plans of the place, the machines, the folds of the sheets and the formats of the linen, to give rise to the creation of a 10-metre long drawing.
