As a contemporary sculptor, Vivien Roubaud introduces modern materials to the field of art. Salvaging spare parts of used appliances that we discard as frenetically as we consume them, he proposes and pursues a new spin on being an artist. Without restricting himself to a specific practice or material, he develops each piece as a fully-fledged prototype, each one of them requiring various skills for their implementation. More than an artist, Vivien Roubaud is therefore a researcher and a tireless tinkerer embracing new know-how each time it is needed to bring to life an idea developed for a long time beforehand. <\/p>\n
For all that, his aim is not to transform our everyday artefacts into aesthetic icons, it is more a matter of changing the aesthetic sphere so that it resembles and more adequately reflects contemporary issues and the topography of the world as it is here and now. Nothing is concealed and nothing is pared down for minimalist purposes in his assemblages. <\/p>\n
