Annette Messager @ Marian Goodman Gallery, Paris

An exhibition in Paris by Annette Messager with new works and a set of new drawings, including her first video installation, Lost in Limbos (2019).
The exhibition opens with a series of mural sculptures titled Sleeping Songs. To create them, Annette Messager worked with coloured sleeping bags, quilts and hooded puffer jackets. Emphasising their tremendous versatility and rich variety of meanings.  The artist states: “The quilts, sleeping bags, puffer jackets and duvets are recent materials – warm, soft, protective cocoons. They take all kinds of forms and are with us day and night, on our clothed or naked bodies. […] They can suggest sleep, dreams or nightmares, love, sexuality, or isolation.”
