Ensemble

November-December 2010

Ensemble = A set.
A set = a union, a togetherness.
In mathematics the term set means a collection of finite or infinite elements (with unambiguous characteristics) liable to having certain properties and to have a particular relation between themselves or with other elements of other sets. Synonym – aggregate, class.

Drawings on paper, paintings of varying dimensions, light wooden structures more akin to three-dimensional drawings than sculptures, and a large white installation: groups of work are displayed on the walls of ASSAB ONE like constellations engaged in dialogue; linked by that distinctive way of representing objects which is characteristic of the work of Nathalie Du Pasquier. Even in the single pieces of work, every-day objects are connected by a certain indifference to their function, material or weight and, thanks to the way in which the artist represents them and displays them, form unusual relations in their motionless and artificial cohabitation.
