Biography
La Ribot (ES/CH, 1962, based in Geneva) presents a new project drawn from part of the set design for PARAdistinguidas (2011), presented as a sculpture, Huan Lan Hong, in 2016. This “shack”, an image associated with hidden, nocturnal activities, will evolve as a kind of clandestine workshop during the exhibition, through the actions of two performers and a sound artist. This new experimental sculpture-performance marks the first phase in a series of projects planned over three years.
La Ribot was the subject of a “portrait” at the Festival d’automne, Paris, in 2019, with 6 pieeces: Panoramix at Centre Pompidou; Se vende at Centre Pompidou and the CND; Laughing Hole at the CND ; Please, please, please (with Mathilde Monnier and Tiago Rodriguez) at Espace 1789, Saint-Ouen and at Centre Pompidou; Happy Island at the CND; Another distinguée at Centquatre. In 2019, her work was also presented at the Mercat de les Flors, Barcelona; Macba, Barcelona; MUSAC, Leon; in 2018, CCE, Mexico City in 2017, Tripostal, Lille; Tanz im August, Berlin ; in 2016, Centro Parraga, Murcia; in 2015, Centre culturel suisse, Paris; Beirut Art Center; Musée de la danse, Rennes.
