PARIS.- The Pernod Ricard Foundation is presenting the first institutional exhibition in France dedicated to artist Beatrice Bonino, developed in close collaboration with Catherine David, art historian and guest curator.

Beatrice Bonino’s artistic practice centers on forgotten fragments and overlooked or barely perceptible materials, which she patiently assembles into delicate, unexpected sculptures. Humble objects—juxtaposed, wrapped, or bound together—become signs of a mysterious language that only reveals itself to those willing to take the time to truly see. Her work invites slowness and attention, a willingness to approach, to accept opacity and fragility.

In dialogue with curator Catherine David, Bonino also brings her sculptural vocabulary into conversation with historical works, notably those by Lutz Bacher, Gianni Colombo, Giuseppe Desiato, Marisa Merz, and Dieter Roth. This confrontation of voices underscores both affinities and differences across generations, situating her practice within a living lineage of artistic gestures where memory meets disappearance, and where formal precision quietly intertwines with poetry.

Beatrice Bonino (b.1992, Torino) lives and works in Torino; holds a PhD in Sanskrit at Université Sorbonne-Nouvelle.

Her solo and group show have been held at Radio Athènes, Teatro Grottesco in Torino and 11 Parthenon in Nicosia, Schiefe Zähne and Galerie Molitor in Berlin, Bonner Kunstverein, Ermes Ermes and MACRO in Rome, MMXX, Milan and Jacqueline Sullivan gallery in New York. Her practice merges industrial materials with more delicate, intimate components. The resulting sculptures are enigmatic and imbued with a strong sense of identity. Bonino’s works resist easy classification and challenge conventional exhibition formats, often prioritizing atmosphere and emotional resonance over straightforward legibility.
