Barbara Chase-Riboud · Everytime A Knot is Undone, A God is Released
In the Musée d'Orsay's famous clock room, an emblem of modernity, five aluminum and silk sculptures will be on display. In juxtaposition with one of the large clocks on the museum's facade, they question the notion of time.
Barbara Chase-Riboud opens up new possibilities in sculpture, combining bronze with silk and wool, creating pieces whose solidity and fluidity do not contradict one another, but rather create a new, mobile form, at once human and abstract.
Named after a collection of Barbara Chase-Riboud's poetry, published in 2014, the exhibition "Everytime A Knot is Undone, A God is Released" is spread across eight sites. It gives visitors a host of opportunities to come into contact with the artist's work, through sculpture, drawing, and poems created from 1958 up to the present day.
