뉴욕을 기반으로 활동하는 프랑스 출신 조각가 카미유 앙로의 개 조각을 모은 'Camille Henrot: Dogs'가 9월 9일부터 내년 8월 29일까지 센트럴파크 동남쪽 도리스 C. 프리드만 플라자(60스트릿@5애브뉴)에서 열린다. 

 

이 전시엔 사울 스타인버그(Saul Steinberg)의 드로잉, 텍스 에이버리(Tex Avery)의 만화, 고대 이집트 조각, 독 쇼(dog show) 대회 등 다양한 곳에서 영감을 얻어 청동, 석재, 강철, 콘크리트 등으로 제작한 작품들이 선보인다. 

 

1978년 프랑스에서 태어난 카미유 앙로는 문학, 중고 시장, 시, 만화, 소셜 미디어, 자기계발, 그리고 일상의 평범함 등에서 영감을 얻어 작업해왔다.

 

2013년 스미스소니언 박물관(Smithsonian Institution) 펠로우십 기간 중 제작한 영상 작품 '그로스 파티그(Grosse Fatigue)'로 호평을 받았으며, 같은 해 제55회 베니스 비엔날레에서 은사자상(Silver Lion)을 수상했다. 또한, 같은 작품으로 2014년엔 독일 백남준상을 수상했다(*백남준아트센터 국제예술상이 아님) 그리고, 2020년엔 서울 아트선재센터에서 개인전 '카미유 앙로: 토요일, 화요일'을 열었다. 

 

 

 

 

Camille Henrot

Dogs

 

Doris C. Freedman Plaza, Central Park(60th St.@5th Ave.)

Through August 29, 2027

 

 

For her first public exhibition in New York City, Camille Henrot brings a group of sculptures of dogs to the entrance of Central Park. Building on an existing series, Henrot’s installation includes new sculptures in a variety of materials suited to the outdoors, including bronze, stone, steel, and concrete. Each work is born out of an accumulation of visual references, including Saul Steinberg drawings, Tex Avery cartoons, ancient Egyptian sculpture, dog show competitions, and more. 

 

Across a virtuosic artistic practice that spans painting, drawing, film, installation, and sculpture, Henrot explores the invisible codes and ties that bind our lives as both individuals and members of society. Henrot’s interest in the nature of attachment, dependency and domestication has drawn her to the subject of dogs, a highly social animal and loyal human companion. At the same time, the exhibition stands as a celebration of sculptural craft and style, reflecting Paris-born Henrot’s love for New York City as a place of insistent individual expression.  

 

 

 

About the Artist

Camille Henrot (born 1978, France) is recognized as one of the most influential voices in contemporary art today. Over the past twenty years, she has developed a critically acclaimed practice, encompassing drawing, painting, sculpture, installation and film. Inspired by literature, second-hand marketplaces, poetry, cartoons, social media, self-help, and the banality of everyday life, Henrot’s works capture the complexity of living as both private individuals and global citizens in an increasingly connected and over-stimulated world.

 

In 2013, Henrot received widespread critical acclaim for her film “Grosse Fatigue”, made during a fellowship at the Smithsonian Institution and awarded the Silver Lion at the 55th Venice Biennale in 2013.

 

Henrot is the recipient of the 2014 Nam June Paik Award and the 2015 Edvard Munch Award, and has participated in the Lyon, Berlin, Sydney and Liverpool Biennials, among others. Henrot has had numerous solo exhibitions worldwide, including the New Museum, New York; Schinkel Pavilion, Berlin; Art Sonje Center, Seoul; Fondazione Memmo, Rome; and Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery, Japan, among others. Her work is held in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, the Guggenheim, the Centre Pompidou, and the National Gallery of Victoria, among others. 

 

In 2026, Henrot premieres her new film In The Veins at the New Museum, New York and LUMA, Arles. She also presents a solo exhibition at The Perimeter in London, and a major performative survey exhibition at Copenhagen Contemporary. Henrot’s first theatrical production Commedia dell’Arte will premiere at the Aspen Art Museum’s AIR Festival, a co-commission between Performa, Aspen Art Museum / Wheeler Opera House and LYRA Art Foundation.
