A collaborative artist's book.
French artist Fabrice Hyber (born 1961 in Luçon) is acknowledged to be one of the major figures of French
contemporary art. Over the past thirty years Fabrice Hyber has worked with highly diverse
approaches creating a vast corpus of work with striking formal and conceptual ramifications.
Dialogue with many different disciplines adds to the variable geometry of Fabrice Hyber's
work. Interaction with physics, neuroscience, astronomy, phytotherapy… takes the viewer to
a much wider plane where all the dimensions of human experience are summoned. Hyber
multiplies possibilities for intervening on shape, behaviour, organization by working with
many different media—paint, video and installations. His conception of art rubs up against
ways of living the world. His proposals challenge the ways we interpret what is real, what
Hyber sometimes refers to as the “commerce” of forms.
French writer, poet and art critic Pierre Giquel (1954-2018) was also a teacher at the École supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Nantes Métropole, and has contributed to numerous exhibition catalogues and art magazines. Since the early 1980s, his texts have been published in multiple publications of contemporary art and institutions editions such as
CAPC in Bordeaux, Mac/Val in Vitry-sur-Seine, the Museum of Modern Art in Paris, and the Frac Pays de la Loire.
