Confort Moderne

Confort Moderne is a flagship venue on the cultural scene in Poitiers (France), a pioneering artistic wasteland that has been working since the early 1980s to decompartmentalize views and practices.

Ann Craven - Time
2016
bilingual edition (English / French)
In more than two hundred artworks, the American artist's reference monograph focuses on the fundamentals of her painting, strongly impregnated by notions of time, profusion, systemising and commitment.
Justin Lieberman - The Corrector\'s Custom Pre-Fab House
2015
texts in English and French
A 300 page pulp book, compiling a series of 230 short texts by Justin Lieberman in alphabetical order, as well as an essay telling the story of a now-destroyed installation piece, to which the texts were originally related: “The Corrector's Custom Pre-Fab House”. The texts, with their sarcastic tone, can be read autonomously: they are a meditation on capitalism and material culture, between poetry, description and fiction.
