"WORKS ON PAPER: THE SACHÉ SERIES"- The gallery has been representing Jimmie Durham for the past ten years. This collaboration has included his three solo exhibitions at the gallery "Une pierre presque volante" (2004) "Labyrinth" (2007) and "Regard" (2011).

Jimmie Durham has lived and worked in Europe since 1994.
His work comprises all mediums, from sculpture in the widest sense of the term, a material apparition in space, to performance, painting, video, writing and very often drawing. His approach falls into a sort of archeology, the discovery but also the classification of the traces left by our predecessors.

It is a question of understanding a gesture, repeating it, and reappropriating it to better understand the stages of its invention, the gestures which form the beginning of an artistic act.
