Eric Baudart ‘Again, Again and Again’ at Edouard Malingue
Delicately transposed, it's the displaced materiality in Eric Baudart’s works that spurs their contemporary resonance. Millimeter paper, mattress frames, doormats – everyday, commonplace elements are flushed of everyday context and repurposed to create oeuvres that titter on the edge of artifice. ‘again, again and again’ at Edouard Malingue Gallery marks Baudart’s first solo show in Hong Kong and presents a new series of works as well as two installations that introduce how his practice evolves from Duchamp’s readymade, whilst simultaneously devolving from it. The works or situations proposed are not mere found objects but rather reconfigured and repurposed, composed and re-choreographed materials that have been carefully assembled or moulded to mount a delicate ballet of shapes, color and form. ‘Again, Again and Again’ a will be on view at until May 30th, 2015 at Edouard Malingue Gallery, 33 Des Voeux Road Central, Central, Hong Kong
