Frac Haute-Normandie presents Sophie Dubosc: With or Without Reason For her first solo show in a public institution, Sophie Dubosc is occupying the Frac’s exhibition space with a body of works that she has produced since 2005. Titled With or Without Reason, alluding to Goya’s engraving of the same name from “The Disasters of War” series (1810–1820), the artist showcases the exhibition per se to underscore her exploration of the complex and ambiguous relationships that are forged between the rational and the impulsive, free will and conditioning, the intellectual and the physical. Sophie Dubosc’s works, with their sober, streamlined forms and at the same time surrealist, minimalist and conceptual touches, assert their materiality, in plaster, hemp, fabric, ink, ashes, hair and wood, etc. Through this strong physical presence, they challenge our relationship to the body, otherness, absence and memory. e-flux/announcements/sophie-dubosc/
