o+c+s

is the duo graduation show of Chloé Arrouy and Oscar Mathieu le Bussy.

Chloé and Oscar's encounter happened with a collaboration: the latter asked the other for a device to present textile works, then returned the favour by sewing a cushion for a sculpture of hers. Between metal and fabric, the sharpness of tips and the delicacy of satin, they designed this exhibition as the testament of a fortunate companionship between two extremes. Somewhere in the center of this, they moved propelled by their shared liking of dogs, embodied during the whole exhibition by the presence of Salem, Chloé’s pup. 

This gave life to a porous collaboration, a dialogue between two worlds opposed in everything - but violence, binding them together as a raw material.
