carlier | gebauer is pleased to announce a solo exhibition of recent works by the French artist Guillaume Leblon. This will be his second solo exhibition with the gallery. Leblon’s sculptural installations adopt a poetic relationship to space — embracing an active, mobile, open relationship with the world. Known for choreographing compelling spatial narratives, Leblon’s current exhibition exudes a potent sense of ephemerality and the uncanny. 

A tension between absence and form pervades the exhibition. Upon entering the space, visitors will confront a foam carpet that covers the entire floor and the lower part of the wall. The delicate skin sheathing the space will accumulate traces of wear from the visitors’ movement over the course of the exhibition: a visible imprint of the absent human form. This interplay between absence and the body is a key motif that carries throughout the artist’s most recent work.
