Salon Real / Virtual #8 | Ingrid Cogne – Causer

In CAUSER, moving and wording are intertwined and engaged into articulation(s). “Causer” is a French verb that has the double meaning of “being the reason of” or “having an informal talk”. Playing with words and wordings is a central theme within Cogne’s oeuvre. With CAUSER, she embraces the double space of Salon Real/Virtual by exposing a selection of her artworks and offering to the visitors an insight into her current arts-based research called The Dramaturgy of Conversation.
In SALON REAL the visitor encounters the site-specific sculptural object Rond de Jambes. The piece, made of Acrylglas, is nearly invisible and corresponds to the outer edges of the table. The artwork is composed as a site-specific communication tool between the chairs, the round table, the gallery, and the visitors in the real space. In addition, Cogne brings into play the format conversation with a series of one-to-one encounters titled #9, #18, and #45.
SALON VIRTUAL impresses with a minimalistic, colorful room, wherein 3 pieces of the series SETTING—SEATING—SITTING are on display. These artworks retrace Cogne’s process of occupation of a virtual space in between fiction and reality and the dramaturgy of existing and new created situations.
