Chien à Le French May

Published exclusively in this site on 29 June 2011.

I know it is almost July now, but Le French May is still kicking all around town. agnès b.’s LIBRAIRIE GALERIE is now hosting an exhibition by a French artist, Cyprien Chabert, on a hypothetical deserted island he found. The exhibition, Dogs Meowing, lets its audience reflect upon what the world would be like if we, as human beings, ceased to exist. Will we be sorely missed? Or will the other creatures we are currently residing with be secretly glad that we all disappeared?

Cyprien Chabert is a promising French sculptor who likes to explore the relationships between spatiality of architectures and aesthetics of plants. He displays his talented through creating lost utopias, which people of diverse backgrounds can relate to. This ping-pong table, which is interestingly in the shape of Macau’s main island, is the artist's way of inviting his audience to get involved with the exhibition. Grab a buddy there to play ping-pong with you, or simply go and meet one!

Vincent Mauroy, Cyprien's friend, also have a handful of pieces on display in this exhibition, and you can see their works competing against one other, fighting to spark your imagination. They also carry several garments especially designs by Cyprien, so you can be sure to indulge in some retail therapy.
