Laura Põld’s recent textile pieces represent an artist who is embracing more sustainable methods and practices in response to the growing economic and ecological challenges. Her work creates tangible yet abstract forms in textiles, emphasizing repetition and labor as the foundation for building meaningful lives.
Textile’s role in society often overlooks the undervalued labor involved, which entails translating between the hand, mind, and material, as well as bridging individual and social spheres. Põld’s weaving represents both production, marking work and morality, and projection, symbolizing status, possibilities, and the continuum of time. Through the incorporation of folk motifs, crafting tools, and loose threads, her artworks provoke contemplation on the tension between weaving a cohesive timeline or exposing the flaws and disruptions within the fabric of narrative time. |

Your Time Is My Time analyses contemporary artistic practices among artists from Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania in the context of evolving global networks and art production. The book explores different aspects of migration, precariousness, belonging, and community-building in the practices of these artists, in order to reflect on how the working conditions shape their artworks.
Your Time Is My Time also captures a turning point in the perception of temporal, geographic, and social proximity, and the shift towards finding more sustainable artistic methods and practices in response to deepening economic and ecological distress. Has this current era of crises resulted in new ways of working? How has the meaning of home and workplace changed? For more information about Your Time Is My Time, please visit Roots to Routes website. The book is available for purchase with registration or on site during the event: € 25 |

Make-Believe with Camille Boulay
Detail of "Jessica at Judy's Dinner Party, 1979." (c) 2022
|
During a month-long residency at L’AiR Arts, Camille Boulay is pursuing her research on the multiple selves, rethinking the meaning and etymology of the terms investiture and divestiture when it comes to personal identity.
In her latest work, a screenplay entitled Make-Believe, Camille explores the theories and concepts behind her identity with her alter-egos, incarnating them to the backdrop of various settings. Using the camera lens as a tool to bring her paper sets to life, she reveals their inherently deceptive nature. Taking a scene from Make-Believe as a basis for her work during the residency at Atelier 11, she will be using dance, performance, sound and video to elaborate on her research, finding new ways to express the repeated construction and deconstruction of identity through one’s life. |
This Open Studio event is supported by the Embassy of Estonia in Paris and the Paris College of Art
