Virginie Yassef

Tuesday, September 16–Saturday, October 4, 2008

Part of Crossing the Line: FIAF Festival 2008

Crossing the Line: FIAF Fall Festival 2008

The videos, photographs, sculptures, and installations of Virginie Yassef reveal the poetry of everyday life, emphasizing the subtle gap between perception and reality. In her universe, the strange, sometimes even the supernatural, always surface where least expected.

Ms. Yassef’s project, Alloy, will be the central piece of this exhibition when she brings her work to the FIAF gallery, as part of Crossing the Line. Also, Ms. Yassef will create a new site-specific piece to be presented at this exhibition.

Currently, Ms. Yassef is represented by the Georges-Philippe & Nathalie Vallois Gallery in Paris, where she recently held a private exhibition. Her work has been shown at the Jeu de Paume and the Modern Art Museum in Paris, among others. In 2006, a jury led by CulturesFrance, selected Ms. Yassef to participate in Location One’s residency program in New York.
