Galerie Chantal Crousel presented David Douard’s new exhibition, 0’LULABY, in its second space at 5 rue de Saintonge. Rooted in different language and communication registers, David Douard’s work is at the interstice of physical and virtual worlds. From his wandering down the streets and the social networks, the artist collects discarded objects, anonymous texts, poetry and images — all fragments of private lives affixed in the public space.
I belong to a generation of artists that evolved with the internet. It has to be part of our practice. But I also know that this same generation thinks a lot about the materiality of digital content, as part of sculptural work.
– said David Douard for DSCENE.
