Filles du désordre

The collective Filles du désordre is composed of visual artists Nathalie Thibault and
Isabelle Lapierre. These women create installations that blur the boundaries delimiting
the artworks and the exhibition space. Their approach, imbued with a neo-materialist perspective, celebrates the vitality that runs through the components of reality: these are primarily
the intrinsic qualities of the elements with which they work — pictorial matter,
atypical supports, assemblage sculptures, textual material, everyday objects, and materials
various factors — which guide the choice of their interventions and the configuration of their facilities.
The creative process for both artists takes place in a state of attentive presence.
generating a flurry of interaction between their bodies in action and the things around them.
They work as much in their studio as in the exhibition spaces they occupy, by
adapting on-site to their specific characteristics. In a spirit of play and circularity, Thibault and
Lapierre creates experiential spaces where shapes and colors seem animated by a
their own movement. Both poetic and sensory, their abstract propositions allow
escapes into the imagination, but inevitably bring us back to "the here and now"
now.” Counterbalancing the digital world that constantly appeals to our
cerebral space, the environments of the Girls of Disorder engage the body in its
wholeness, inviting him to feel the density of the real world.
