Housed in an 18th century former paper mill beside the River Loire, Les Moulins de Paillard is a publicly funded cultural organization whose purpose is the production and exhibition of contemporary artwork. Its residency programme allows artists to study and create work in the building's former industrial halls. The exhibition Vulnerable Bodies will present existing works by Christoph Weber alongside new site-specific sculptures created by the artist during his residency at the former mill. Many of them incorporate a local limestone called ‘tuffeau’, with which the Moulins themselves were constructed. Connecting the vulnerability of the human body and the environment, the exhibition will show that ecological and social crises are inseparable.
This is the artist’s first collaboration with Phileas.
