Lucy Orta
Exhibition — Couvent des Jacobins
Lucy Orta also offers an installation - performance at Place de la Daurade.
Born in 1966 in Birmingham (England), she lives in Paris.
In a body of work spanning more than a decade, Lucy Orta has identified a unique genre that blurs the boundaries between traditional sculpture and performance to create a highly original visual language for communication and interaction.
Described as both poetic and polemic, Orta's individual works and interactive projects evoke an aethetic that is once functional, architectural, sculptural and sensual.
