Laure Prouvost: This Means Love
An ingenious object alphabet designed to relearn human communication As an attempt to rediscover the basics of human connection in these isolated times, French artist Laure Prouvost (born 1978) has developed a new ideographic language called "Legsicon." The aim of Prouvost's project is to unlearn and relearn language and engage with new methods of communication and narrative storytelling. Challenging the conventional systems of linguistics and representation, Prouvost replaces emotive words and concepts with anthropomorphized objects which are then transcribed and translated into progressively complex lexical and linguistic tests and eventually entire narratives. Dubbed the "Re-dit-en-un-in-learning Center," Prouvost's installation based on Legsicon encouraged visitors to the Lisson Gallery in London to decode and reinterpret such narratives. This volume includes documentation of the installation and the watercolor illustrations used to demonstrate Prouvost's object alphabet, as well as a series of new stories and texts written in Legsicon commissioned by the artist from various authors.
Laure Prouvost
Généreux et plein d’humour, le travail de Laure Prouvost examine les relations entre langage, image et perception, plaçant le visiteur dans des situations de doute et d’incompréhension, mais aussi d’émerveillement intellectuel et sensoriel. Ces situations deviennent des installations immersives qui invitent à l’évasion et dans lesquelles dialoguent films, sculptures, peintures, tapisseries, performances. Son exposition au Palais de Tokyo, « Ring, Sing and Drink for Trespassing », est une ode aux chemins de traverse et au dépassement des limites, à la joie de se faufiler à travers un grillage pour découvrir un terrain vague ou un jardin aujourd’hui abandonné. Livre publié à l'occasion de l'exposition personnelle de Laure Prouvost au Palais de Tokyo, « Ring, Sing and Drink for Trespassing », 22.06 – 09.09.2018

Intertitles
Intertitles is an anthology of work situated at the intersection of writing and the visual arts. The anthology aims to explore their confluence and is conceived in response to a twofold observation: the increased presence of written, spoken and performed language in the work of visual artists and the simultaneous increase in visibility and circulation of the work and voices of writers in the visual arts arena. Bringing together a substantial and significant collection of work, the anthology recognises that both writers and artists are attracted to the possibilities of language as a material. Through essays, performance texts, scores, poetry and more, Intertitles plots a course through contem...
Laure Prouvost (English edition)
Generous and full of humour, the work of Laure Prouvost examines the relationships between language, image and perception, placing the visitors in situations of doubt and incomprehension, but also a wonder which is both intellectual and sensorial. These situations become immersive installations, inviting escapism, in a dialogue between films, sculptures, paintings, tapestries, performances. Her exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo, “Ring, Sing and Drink for Trespassing”, operates as an ode to diagonal lines, the transcending of limits and the joy of slipping over a fence to discover a wasteland or, a now-abandoned garden.

Still Here
What has been on artists' and creatives' minds during the Covid-19 pandemic and the waves of quarantine orders that have washed over the planet? That has been the question animating the initiative STILL HERE: Moments in Isolation. Since March 2020, co-curators Roya Sachs and Mafalda Millies, alongside producer Lizzie Edelman, have invited prominent denizens in the worlds of art and culture to submit a still life image with an accompanying text, or thought, sharing their experience. Originally conceived as a digital campaign the project in collaboration with DISTANZ is now spanning across six continents. STILL HERE is rooted in the still life, with its iconic depictions of inanimate objects, ...

Latham saw the artist as holding up a mirror to society: an individual whose dissent from the norm could lead...
Laure Prouvost
First publication ever to provide a complete survey of the artist's oeuvre to date: like Prouvost's art, the book is fast-paced and full of quick turns and surprises. It includes a series of essays, a conversation between the artist and her model Barbara Steveni, and a complete list of her works and exhibitions. Laure Prouvost's art is full of wit, poetry, humor, stories, and unforeseen twists and turns. Whether in her installations, videos, or performances, she never fails to surprise and attract. Are her stories for real? Was her granddad really a conceptual artist who dug a tunnel from Europe to Africa and literally got lost in the artistic process? Prouvost's ways of working and the visu...
