LA MATIÈRE AVANT LE NOM
September 10 to December 24, 2026
Matter shifts, light transforms the reliefs, and forms appear suspended between emergence and disappearance.
At the heart of the exhibition, Kar’s Formless collection, explores the space between furniture and sculpture. Tables and seats retain their function while resisting conventional definitions, their irregular surfaces and fluid volumes evoking rock, clay and matter shaped slowly by time.
Kar’s work brings a distinctly tactile presence to the interior. Each piece appears to have emerged from a process of transformation, preserving the trace of the gestures, pressure and movement that formed it. Rather than imposing a fixed identity on the object, Kar allows the material to remain open, unstable and alive.
In Manuel Mérida’s work, the composition remains in motion. In Francisco Salazar’s, white becomes a sensitive space, continually renewed by shadow and by the movement of the gaze. Together with Kar’s sculptural furniture, these works create an interior in which form, function and material remain in constant dialogue.
