About
In 2019, drawing on her experience at Galerie Claude Bernard, Caroline Vossen set up shop at 58 rue Chapon. She then opened L'Avant Galerie Vossen with Albertine Meunier, an artist and specialist in new technologies.
For its inaugural exhibition 'INFINITE SKULLS' the gallery presented an encounter between Ronan Barrot’s paintings and Robbie Barrat’s artificial intelligence networks.
From that point on, L'Avant Galerie established a bold, surprising artistic direction, always tinged with humor. An artistic thread that unfolds from traditional painting and sculpture practices to poetic explorations through computers.
The gallery does not wish to participate in the fantasized narrative of technological innovation at any cost. Rather, it invites, through the gaze of invited artists, to question, tinker with, and re-enchant digital tools. L'Avant Galerie has thus established itself as an essential milestone in the recognition of Crypto Art through its presentation of the Trash Art movement. As well as highlighting artistic creation using AI with the exhibition 'Faux Positif' by u2p050 and Albertine Meunier’s experiments such as 'HyperChips' or 'Who’s There?'. Notable exhibitions like 'Poem Subjkt', in collaboration with the digital poetry collective theVERSEverse and the Métamorphoses bookstore, testify to the gallery’s attention to textual and poetic registers.
Recognized today as one of the most innovative galleries both for its aesthetic choices and technological approaches, L'Avant Galerie has seen its boldness rewarded by the inclusion of works by its artists Albertine Meunier and Robness in prestigious collections, including that of the Centre Pompidou.
At Avant Galerie: no art labeled 'contemporary' no art boxed into “digital” categories— simply art and artists.
