Custodian, La Biennale Paris

Grand Palais Éphémère, Paris (FR)
26 November - 05 December 2021

La Biennale is one of the most prestigious art events in the world, bringing together the world's leading art, antiques and design dealers, jewelers, watchmakers and international collectors in the Grand Palais Éphémère.

The 2021 Edition presents a Sculpture Course with Belgian artists, among which Koen Vanmechelen who's showing Custodian;

Custodian is the name of an enchanting statue. A chthonic figure, this female body with a bull’s head heralds the transition to a new and surprising era. She is the guardian of what is yet unimaginable. The skull by her side is a symbol of the past. This fascinating and impressive mix of humanity and nature – a female Minotaur – radiates both strength and seduction. She is the muze of a new kind of coexistence that is growing, on the foundations of the past.
