Matthieu Haberard
Matthieu Haberard, born 1991 in Toulouse, lives and works in Paris.
Matthieu Haberard’s practice is interested in the liminal zone between adulthood and childhood. Despite the extraordinary craftsmanship of his sculptures – each work is done in meticulously by hand, consciously ignoring easier technological production techniques such as 3D printing – the aspect of “un-learning” is dominant in his practice: Haberard is interested in the wild imagination of children that is often lost once adulthood is entered. His sculptures and textile works are an evocation of intuition found in children, a willed abandoning of reason, consequentiality and the constraints of language.
