Artist(s) Babette Mangolte

Rochechouart Museum of Contemporary Art is delighted to welcome Franco-American artist Babette Mangolte for her first retrospective in France. Spaces to SEE presents a broad selection of her photographs, films and installations including new commissions displayed throughout Rochechouart Museum’s castle galleries.

Spaces to SEE at Rochechouart surveys Babette Mangolte’s entire production of photos and films, a mixture of past and present subjects that range from landscape, art history and use of words to works featuring improvised body or camera movements.

This first retrospective exhibition in France provides a fully immersive experience of the artist and her world with over 200 photos and films, previously un-shown sets of works, the production of a new film plus reactivations of installations including those made for the Berlin Biennial in 2008 and for VOX Art Centre in Montreal in 2013.

Over the last ten years Babette Mangolte has had major solo shows at VOX (Montreal) in 2013 and at the Vienna Kunsthalle in 2016. She has taken part in numerous international exhibitions (e.g. Berlin Biennial 2008, Migros Museum in Zürich, Whitney Museum 2010 Biennial) and her works are regularly shown in collections at the Tate Modern (London), the MACBA Contemporary Art Museum (Barcelona) and at New York’s Museum of Modern Art.
