Expectatives

The exhibition "Expectatives" by Jennifer Caubet at Jousse Entreprise, Paris, features a collection of works exploring contemporary social space and the intersection of sculpture and technical objects. The show revisits the artist's interest in air circulation, breath, and confinement, evident in pieces like "Corps" and "Forces," which compress clothing into dense, strapped bundles, suggesting themes of overconsumption and suffocation.

Further works include "sticks" or "lances" made of steel and wood, functioning as ambiguous instruments for measuring space and time, such as "JJ/MM/AAAA." The exhibition also presents "Rétractions," a compact block of anti-burglary shutters and protective grilles, and suspended glass and metal structures that evoke pneumatic laboratory equipment, commenting on social control and the restriction of freedom.
