Le parti pris des nuages
Double-faced synthetic fabric
175 x 286 cm
Marion Baruch has, for the past ten years, been intervening on fabric offcuts retrieved from the textile industry in Milan. The artist selects, sorts and arrange those materials, so as to transform those disregarded scraps from the industrial and urban society into forms characterised by a flexible geometry. Hung from the ceiling or pinned on the wall, her works reflect a history, as social and political as individual and sensitive.

Marion Baruch born in 1929, in Romania, lives and works in Gallarate, Italy. In the 90s, Marion Baruch exhibited with the famous Milanese gallery owner Inga-Pin. At that time, Marion Baruch signed her works under the label « Name Diffusion », leading her artistic actions in the form of a non-embodied collective. Marion Baruch, who constantly renews her practice, now intervenes exclusively with fabric remnants that accur when pieces of clothing are cut. The remnants of the industrial and urban society are handed to her in whole bags coming from the textile factories of haute-couture and ready-to-wear studios of the Milanese haute-couture scene.
« May they be untitled Paintings, Sculptures, Portraits, Marion Baruch's works are made of scraps of fabrics pined up on the wall. The form that they present, are the result of both chance and the effect of gravity on the flexibility of the fabric: nothing prepared or planed.
The works offer a drawn structure who reflects a geometry between deconstruction of the painting, sketch of bas-relief, and processual sculpture ». Christian Bernard.
For her first personal exhibition at the gallery Anne-Sarah Bénichou « Le parti pris des nuages », in homage to Ponge, Marion Baruch renews with this poetry of everyday life, characteristic of his work.
