She has made time the essence of her work. Born in Cagnes-Sur-Mer in 1982, Olivia Barisano has a master’s degree in Scenography from La Cambre, Brussels. “It was there that I found myself next door to my grandmother, whom I knew so little about,” says the brunette, whose ancestors found themselves leaving Sicilian soil. In her 2008 performance Solanum Tuberosum, Olivia Barisano sculpted vulvas from potatoes in front of this nonna as she peeled the same tubers. Passing the torch of women through daily gestures, eminently ritual repetitions, in search of the salt of life. The artist shows the origins, from video to sculpture, as in the three-part installation she presents this spring in the Espace Grandjean at the end of her three-year residency. “Vallauris comes from the Latin Vallis Aurea, which means golden valley,” continues the visual artist. “It’s clay was prized because the cooking pots had the advantage of not breaking at the first firing.” She questions the values conveyed by objects, from this utilitarian earthenware used for cooking or sometimes as a piggy bank to our contemporary handbags and shopping baskets that jealously guard our money and foodstuffs picked up in the hypermarket. In parallel, the artist will reactivate her Jeannette installation at Terrail. She created the space in 2019 to serve as her studio and host artists in residence of various nationalities, besides belonging to the Botox(s) contemporary art network.
