Marie Lebrun will open the exhibition ONE WAY LOOP - one minute that far in Hulduland at the Department of Fine Art, Laugarnesvegur 91 on March 2nd at 4pm. This is the fourth exhibition in the Spark Plugs series by first year students at the MA programme in Fine Art.

Spark Plugs is a series of duo exhibitions by MA 1st year students in Fine Art for spring semester 2017. The shows are realized in different ways but are all a kind of spark plugs and an elaboration of ideas and processes of students to date.

Less in a nostalgic relationship than in a study of the temporal data itself, my practice gives shape to time, situates it in space, to confront the weight of feelings with the simplicity of a gesture. It is often involved in the study of distances, trajectories and perception in an intimate way, my research brings together spatial shift as a subject and a medium. 

Mostly rooted in the writing of daily life, the text (or the non-text) is the result of these perceptions. Through its layout in space, the work gives thought to the relationship the audience has with the symbolism of an artistic piece. In « ONE WAY LOOP – one minute that far », I try to think about the moment of the exhibition as a replica and a leftover of displacements that happened in the past, or even just in my mind.

This plastic and theoretical research sometimes looks ironically at the necessity for poetry to be invented by the artist, or to appear mystically from the artist’s hand. 
I also want to observe what kind of poetry can appear through the relationship with the audience when the piece takes itself for a subject.

Marie Lebrun has graduated in a video editing school in Biarritz in 2014. In 2017 she completed a BA degree of Fine Arts at Bordeaux where she's still studying for an MA degree.
