Géométries amoureuses de Jean-Michel Othoniel

Catalogue de l'exposition Géométries amoureuses de Jean-Michel Othoniel, présentée au Carré Sainte-Anne, Montpellier (10 juin - 24 septembre 2017). Le Centre Régional d’Art Contemporain Occitanie/Pyrénées-Méditerranée, à Sète présente un autre volet de l’exposition aux mêmes dates.

As part of the exhibition, the Carré sainte-Anne publishes a box containing two books: one tome on the exhibited works that the artist  has  kept  since  the  1990s,  when  he  began  working  with  glass; and  another  on  the  installation  designed  specifically  for  the  venue.

For Othoniel, being part of his own collection goes hand-in-hand with a desire to remove himself from the world; foregoing his reticence and showing this collection of his work to the public is part of the ambiva-
lence of feelings that the artist places at the heart of his work.
