As part of the series Out of Office, organized by Burkhard Meltzer and Tabea Guhl.
Outlines and surfaces may—or may not—suggest familiar forms. Moving between geometry, material, and environment, Maud Châtelet explores possible spaces in two and three dimensions.
What initially appears to be the realization of a design intention reveals itself as a precarious interplay. Material and gravity, along with climatic and spatial conditions, are not merely accompanying factors but become active forces. Geometric divisions that seem familiar unfold as elusive constellations, emerging through cuts and folds, overhangs and curves.
In her paintings and model-like installations, Maud Châtelet imagines not only potential spaces but also visions of their transformation. Folded from industrial roll material, the installation conceived for the Out of Office storefront examines the codes and conventions of space and work: between a former conceptual framework and today’s open-plan office, and between retail, office, and public space.
