Voile, You Would Sea Where To Go by Laure Prouvost
Laure Prouvost's new commission is unveiled for the first time. "IDEALLY YOU WOULD SEA WHERE TO GO – HERE WE DREAM OF NO MORE FRONT TEARS". These sentences written on the sails of the museum boat, produced in a specialized workshop in Brittany, are based on a hybrid play on words between English and French.

These sentences printed on the sails of the boat are produced in a specialised studio in Brittany, France. They are based on a play of words between English and French. The message of the sail is a political one, designed to raise awareness on migration issues, also having to do with animals, birds and fish, following the idea of bringing humans closer to nature. The work also addresses the itinerant dimension of the boat and the festival, the connections that will take place from one port to another throughout the whole journey.
Martina Barbon
Laure Provost
Born in 1978, in Croix-Lille, France. Lives and works in Brussels. Using video, drawing, tapestry, ceramics, photography and performance, Laure Prouvost creates immersive installations, plunging the viewer into a state of personal and collective introspection. Facetious and full of humor, her relationship with language is nourished by the gap between the language used daily in England and her mother tongue. Through this approach, she questions our cultural history and what remains of it over the course of displacements or generations.
