PHILIPPE DROGUET
25 May - 21 July 2013

Philippe Droguet’s works are both organic, carnal and threatening, initiating a permanent back and forth between attraction and repulsion.
Philippe Droguet’s materials and objects are familiar but intriguing : paraffin freezing marmoreal folds, sharp nails covering the inside of a bath, shells, barks...

The exhibition of Philippe Droguet’s works on Level 1 of the macLYON brings together pieces from the museum’s collections and more recent works created since the beginning of the 2000s, including a 2013 creation – Couvre Feu – which is composed of approximately one hundred parakeet nesting boxes displayed in two rows, one above the other.
