The word grain, often associated with the graininess of photos, paper and wood, is here also meant to be understood as the smallest component in a unit, as various bits to produce a whole. A grain, in terms of the previously-cited objects, provides texture to something that would otherwise be smooth and thus creates shapes and materiality. In a spoken language, grains would be the equivalent of individual words that can be inflected and articulated with each other within a grammatical matrix. When referring to a place, it would lead us to study and interrogate the typology of the inanimate and organic objects around us that “speak” about us and our history, as well as their own apparition or making and usage.
In this solo show Boudvin examines certain such objects and their different variations. He presents four studies of objects (the front of buildings, a stool, a glass, and a car) found in four different territories (Hanoi, Saint-Imier, Rome and Flins) distributed among the Crédac’s three exhibition rooms.
