Nanda Vigo, hard worker and constantly renewer of herself while remaining faithful to her conceptual research, has produced a considerable work. Her works, both experimental and immersive, are the testimony of her autonomy of action and thought as an artist convinced that art is a projection that carries within it the shape of the future society. Liberated from the limits of representation, Nanda Vigo has built her life and her work around the ideas of breaking the physical limits of space and transcendence. Nanda Vigo at the museum of Decorative arts and Design Presenting the work of Nanda Vigo at the madd-bordeaux, is an opportunity for visitors to immerse themselves in her avant-garde and unique work to grasp its contemporary dimension. Since 1959, Nanda Vigo has surpassed the frame and has gone out of the work to touch the spectator: the image becomes an environment where to live, act and react.

A series of her iconic objects will thus be presented, as the Cronotopo (that means space-time), conceptualized as an area of experimental research capable of expanding the lighting effects and perceptions of form through its glass and neon. Glass, aluminum, mirrors and neon lights, characteristic materials of her work, echo each other to appeal to our senses and give materiality to Nanda Vigo’s philosophical reflection. Immersed in a sensory experiencethat invites introspection, visitors will be able to understand the philosophical research that is omnipresent and fundamental to the artist’s work. In order to communicate the contemporary, innovative and total value of Nanda Vigo’s work, several historic environments and installations, most of which have been demolished, will be reconstructed. More than a chronological presentation of her career, it is an experience that allows the audience to live the unframed dimension of her work. The objective is to see, perceive and feel all the dimensions of Nanda Vigo’s artistic creation. Architecture, art and design are approached as total creative fields.

Nanda Vigo, the inner space is an exhibition that introduces the work of the artist through immersive installations.
