Prix Meurice for Contemporary Art 2010/2011

Ingrid Luche

Galerie Air de Paris

Born 1971. Lives in Paris.

She is an alumnus of the École Nationale Supérieure d'Art Villa Arson (1994)
The last solo show of balconies, chandeliers, and pictures, which she presented at the Air de Paris Gallery (2007) has been seen in many other exhibitions. In her recent works, Ingrid Luche shows, first through models, then through architectural places on human scale, some spaces or places she remembers. The questioning on dimension (physical or imaginary), on scales or perceptions are at the heart of her research and experimentations. Sometimes they turn on a sculpture, a place of memory, a light or procures a feeling of “déjà vu” related to the souvenir of public places, galleries or passing places to the plasticity of a wall, a corridor or the space of a specific experience.

Project
Le Bassin Olive is a sculpture, a pond made from imitation polished black stone, it is part of the La Maison de mes Rêves series. This pond (washhouse) is filled from a pump-operated jet of water which keeps the same water level. As its other sculptures, it gives the sensation of déjà vu and of novelty in the meantime. The project comprises 3D computer and architect's models (scale: 75% to 95% of standard dimensions of the functional elements). Presented at Art Basel Unlimited.
